mutt questions

Configuring mutt is harder than pine but once your're done doing that,
I can list some advantages:

No more of those character set warnings when you aren't using the same
character set as the original sender.

I find it easier to skip around attachments.

One thing I really like is being able to skip around previously quoted
stuff in messages; If I get a message that has all the old stuff first
and their reply at the end, I just hit 'S' - that's capital S, mutt
puts the cursor on the first line of unquoted text.  If there is more
quoted text, you can hit the 'S' key again and it skips to the next
block of unquoted text, and so on.  I especially like this feature.

In some respects, it may be more powerful and configurable than pine
even though one has to edit a config file instead of menus like pine.
