Of the various mail user agents I have investigated, only mutt and gnus offer good efficiency in the handling of a large volume of messages. Not coincidentally, neither mutt nor gnus makes use of the rodent. gnus possibly is more efficient than is mutt, but the configuration and the command structure of gnus is rather obscure. More importantly, if Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen -- the creator of gnus, and perhaps the only man who fully understands the package -- falls off the edge of the earth, the popularity of gnus may decline rapidly. In contrast, mutt enjoys considerable popularity and long has been installed by default by Debian. And popularity perhaps is the best guarantee against obsolescence. Thus it is that mutt appears to be the better option in the long term. RLH
