I was weaned with Pine for e-mail.
But then when I was stuck in MS environment, I got accustomed to
Netscape.
Now I use mutt mostly at home and am forced to use Outlook at work
(which I hate).
The reason I use mutt is the flexibility. I've remapped all my keys
to match Pine's functionality as much as possible, and I use
fetchmail/exim/procmail to deliver to my Netscape e-mail folders,
which I read mostly in Mutt but occasionally in Netscape.
I guess the next step is to create a personal FAT32 mail partition and
transfer everything there so I can continue reading mail from Netscape
even when I boot windows.....
And then I need to hack up a scraper using perl or shell script/lynx
for my free web-based e-mail account....
And by the time I get that done one day, I'm sure there'll be ten more
wrenches (new technologies) thrown in the works....
