I don't know how anyone can cope with reading a busy mailing list like this without them, but I suppose others will have different views. Mutt is also a lot more configurable than Pine from what I've seen, in many ways. Finally, ben@strontium:~$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/{mutt,pine} -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 367592 Nov 7 00:07 /usr/local/bin/mutt* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2374520 Jun 5 18:20 /usr/local/bin/pine* Pine is about six times the size of Mutt. I really can't see why.
