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.

Probably... :) fed to wc -l that is 14262 lines. at 60 lines a page face thats a bit over 1/4 ream of paper on a duplex printer. Doable IOW. But its been asking for a toner cart for about a month now.

Thanks David, take care & stay well.

Cheers,
David.
