I'd agree, but I'd add configurability. Though I'm sure there are GUI mail clients out there that can be as highly configured as mutt - I haven't found one (don't get me started on evolution). :P ;) I also like it because I'm a vim person... I also read my email through ssh... I think there's a lot of horses for courses involved too, but it's the best I've come across and the most highly adaptable to my changing needs. > I'd love a talk on mutt.. i know that I'm only using a fraction of it's > tools.
