Mutt rocks. After using Pine for some years, I played with mutt for sometime and havent looked back since. > > i have been trying to switch from pine to mutt. partly due to time, i have > > not seen how easily mutt accomodates the following: > > > > - does mutt have an address book? > mutt does not have an address book, but several options exist that can do the > job. You can check out abook (http://abook.sourceforge.net/). Mutt has the alias command which allows you to give email addresses aliases e.g johndoe-> [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > mutt features an external query feature that can allow you to pull email > addresses from a wide variety of sources.

Mutt allows you to play with files of different formats e.g I open my word documents, browse through tarballs in mutt. neat:). just call the program that should perform that function and you are good to go. > > - my distro comes with the .muttrc file in the /etc folder, instead > > of the /home folder. anyways, this is easy to solve, but wonder > > why this was SuSe's choice.
