Not true! I switched from mutt to gnus. It's IMAP support was too weak for me, and I didn't like the single window nature of it (you can't compose a message and read other mail at the same time). Mutt's ok. It does the important things right, but otherwise is rather mediocre. -- Brian Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bignachos.com
