This worked out wonderful. I wonder though, when I replied to a message,
it did use mutt fine, but all the headers from slrn news file went into
the reply. Is their a way to filter this out?

Also what feature of mutt can be used? It looked like it just used mutt
to deliver, is this correct?

| Note: The Shell-script needs the executable permissions for
|         its users. This is usually done by a 'chmod -v 755 slrn-mua.sh'
|         as root in the destination directory. 
| 
| Now every time you use a 'r' to do a reply or a 'F' to do a
| forwarding in slrn it will use 'mutt'.
| 
| Enjoy it! :-))
