You don't have to, because mutt will handle mbox, mmdf, mh or maildir.
I learn best in the reading room, reading a pdf, but debians version
of mutt is html only,
You wrote this two hours after I posted the text version's
filename in my reply to your post further up this thread. Look:
$ ls -l /usr/share/doc/mutt/manual.txt.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 162988 Apr 23 2022 /usr/share/doc/mutt/manual.txt.gz
how the heck do you print that?
$ zcat /usr/share/doc/mutt/manual.txt.gz | paps --font='FreeMono 10' --left-margin=40 --top-margin=40 --paper "letter" | ps2pdf - - >| /tmp/mutt-manual.pdf
$
or even
$ zcat /usr/share/doc/mutt/manual.txt.gz | paps --font='FreeMono 14' --left-margin=40 --top-margin=40 --paper "letter" --landscape | ps2pdf - - >| /tmp/mutt-manual.pdf
$
which would consume a little over seven quires.
But WV probably has sufficient trees.
