But its an app I use on my desktop. I don't think its necessarily means its a sad state of the GNU/Linux desktop, just that the people here find command line tools more powerful. Personally I find mutt a better email client than any other mail client on any other system. (Partially because it will use my favourite text editor, not some half-arsed one.) Oh, and I would really consider mutt command line, more a TUI (text user interface), which is probably a step above interactive command driven interface like mail(1), which is a step above some purely command line app (like cat).
