that's fine. dont give mutt to people who are not able to configure it. if they cannot be bothere by an "editor inteface" for configuration and if they wont ever learn the concept of regular expressions - forget it! give GUI mailer to those who would rather "click on a menu" than going through a list of commands and reading the manual to understand them. and dont waste your time on explaining "threading" to those who quote in full and "reply to all".
