I use it too, but I find that it is hardly the equivalent of Pine. Mutt is minimalist and cryptic. Pine is much more polished: there are menus, dialogs and extensive context-sensitive help. It is full-featured, including a real address book. With Mutt, you spend a lot of time diddling with the .muttrc file. The Pine UI is comparable to 80s era commercial Dos apps and accessible to beginners. Unix text apps' UIs, by contrast, are generally still in the stone age. I'm afraid an alternative truly comparable to Pine does not exist. Chris
