Hi, I'm setting up an environment on my new Gentoo installation. I'm
thinking of setting up an e-mail client at the console rather than a
desktop client like Thunderbird, because console programs tend to be
more performant and stable. On the other hand, I prefer text reading on
desktop programs, as there are more convenient commands, e.g. the famous
continuous reading command found in Orca. Thus, I thought of choosing a
console client that allows me to open a text editor like leafpad to read
plain text e-mail messages, and open a browser like Firefox to read html
messages.
Upon searching, there appears to be only a few console clients still
maintained, namely Mutt, neoMutt and sup. Sup is curses based, but
NeoMutt seems the most active, though it probably requires a lot of time
and patience to configure properly, as it doesn't have any interactive
settings wizard; one needs to carefully read and change files manually.
Can someone say if it's worth trying? If so, what screen reader works
better with it: fenrir, orca or speakup? Am I missing any other good client?
Thanks,
Cleverson
