For the past four years I've used Gnus under Emacs as my MUA. I got
tired of the slowness and switched to mutt. I think mutt is awesome,
but I miss one thing from Gnus: scoring.
Mutt has the beginnings of it. I'll list what I miss and I solicit
comments about how I might go about getting a similar effect in mutt.
1 - No UI for entering scores from within mutt. So, I'm reading along
and I realize the thread I'm on has turned into a flame war. I want a
convenient way to score that subject down without having to muck with
my muttrc. In Gnus, I just type 'L' and it prompts me for the rest.
2 - No way to show threads but still sort by score. In the threaded
display, gnus can sort first by thread, then by score. Maybe
something like:
sort=thread,score
If there are easy ways to accomplish these things within mutt? If
not, if I implemented these things, would they be accepted into mutt?
Or would they be considered bloat.
