I would have to agree. I have tried loads of mail clients in my time and mutt
does it for me. I don't go in for bells and whistles so I find gui-based
clients somewhat tiresome. mutt is very flexible and the sort-by-thread
option is brilliant.
It doesn't do html, but then e-mail should be text - if I receive an e-mail
message in html-only I have no qualms about deleting it without reading it ;o)
Try mutt - you won't be disappointed. Unless you crave a gui ;o)
