Pine can get to nntp: servers and knows how to use them though that's a
little work to set up. Mutt is only capable of email so far as I know.

Greetings,
Since I started using Linux, I've basically been using pine as my mail
program. However, I have the impression that a lot of people are
using mutt and think it's superior, I think that it would be a good idea
to compare notes.
Pine: the setup is menu driven, You can have several signatures, you
don't have to use an smtp server when sending mail, you can access
newsgroups.
You can't easily manipulate threads.
Mutt: Easy to manipulate threads, you can search bodies of messages.
You have to write the configuration file and if you do, it's highly
configurable, you can't, easily, have more than one addressbok, you
can't use an smtp server to send your outgoing mail.
Have I missed things?
It would be interesting to have a discussion about these two programs.

Bertil Smark Nilsson
