12 I tried mutt more than a year ago, when I didn't know that I could use
13 vim with pine, instead of the embedded pico. I don't really remember why
14 I didn't stick with mutt, but I know there were some reasons (colors?
15 difficult to configure? I think there was something else too).
16 Anyway, pine has proven good enough, till now. Once in a while, when
17 there's some mail with visual contents, I use thunderbird, through a ssh
18 tunnel.
