Hi, Cheryl: I can't tell you a lot about what's so cool with mutt as I have hardly looked at it. But, I did note a lot of support for message signing and encryption via pgp. That's certainly cool if you're communicating delicate information. Frankly, I expect it's pretty helpful in a business where the employer technically owns all your mail, if yhou get my drift. As for audio icons with vm -- long live the audio desktop. Something similar can be cooked up with procmail, though. I have mine set to play different sounds on different system events. A message from my sweetheart plays a soft tweet-tweet, another sound marks company mail (based on the domain name), etc., etc. It's fairly straight forward to set up, too.
