[ilugd] Command line Email Client

2010-08-29 Thread H.S.Rai
During 2002, I used to use Pine, and while experts were used to use
Mutt. Now Pine has been mobed to Alpine (and abandoned).

Wanted to know what is hot now?

Still Mutt, or something else?

 If you run Debian you can choose between  mutt and mutt-matched. 

mutt-patched.

Thanks for pointing out - it was a typo.

I still use Mutt, but I've heard good things about Sup, a mail
client written in Ruby. I haven't tried it though; too firmly rooted
in my configuration to attempt a change. ;-)

Ooh! Command-line email clients wars! Almost as good as emacs vs.
vi.

Besides the suggested answers, the one that I always liked was
mh (which has now become nmh, and there is a package for it in at
least Debian, and Ubuntu). The nice thing about nmh is that it is
not a single client that requires you to enter a separate interface,
but a collection of programs that lets you work with mail in
between other command-line work. Not sure if mutt, or the other
alternatives do that.

The only reason that they pried nmh out of my cold, (not-yet) dead
fingers was the increasing prevalence of attachments in mail, and
some setup issues.

Regards,
Gora

mutt, gnus (in emacs -nw), sup[1]. Gnus is the most extensible (as extensible
as Emacs), mutt sucks less, and sup tries to be curses mirror of gmail.
