I use The Bat! at work. It is good, but Mutt is much better (for me, at
least). I miss hooks, macros, patterns, mailing list support, replying
to multiple e-mails with one message, the <limit> command, etc. The
Bat! does have a couple of features that Mutt lacks, but those are the
features that I do not need. Maybe others do.
Unfortunatelly, I cannot use Mutt under Windows NT: it dumps core in the
pager. I've posted stack backtrace on mutt-dev, but nobody seems to
have noticed it (and I don't blame the developers -- they are busy
finishing Mutt 1.2 under Unix).
