	Use it myself and love it.  I just wish I could find out how to
	make it set vim's text width setting to 72, so I don't have to
keep typing it in manually.  I like how it works with spamassassin, and
one of these days I'll read up on how to make it put things into folders
based on the "List-ID" header field.  It doesn't work well with the Orca
mailing list, though.  If you try to save a message, you always have to
call up the Mail directory and highlight the list's save file, or it
defaults to the user's mail address, making a large mess.  I sure wish
they'd fix that, because you can't even hit "r" to reply to the list,
rather than the mail's author.  PITA IMHO, and totally bassackwards.
Anyway, I can only suggest using  'ignore *' and 'unignore <headers to
unignore>' in the /etc/Muttrc file to weed headers.  Otherwise, you wind
up looking at 60+ lines of header information. <grins>  Took me awhile
to figure out how to save attachments.  Had to give SpeakUP a workout to
see what exactly was being displayed.
