Excellent.  I will look into links today.  I probably will have to adjust
my colors again since it most likely will work best with a white
background. 

For editors I use vim.  I am completely addicted to it and though I keep
trying to switch to various emacsen for certain tasks I still am tied to
vim.  I can write html directly in vim without too much trouble.  I would
like to figure out a way to render it before sending.  Maybe I can do that
from the compose menu.

Unfortunately I have see some of that.  I am too dependent on the 'little'
features of mutt.  I use the 'little brother database' as well, which is a
godsend for corporate use.  It is certainly easier to locate a random
email address that some guy named 'guy' used in the last 3 months with lbdb
than with Notes.  I love my tools under linux.
