Serious customization? If users want to "seriously" customize, they'll know enough, to install whichever mail program they prefer.
Personally, I'd rather not have a standard, and instead let users decide.
Actually, it's only the shown e-mail address that I've had to configure. Couldn't somebody here write a simple config wrapper, for
the first time you use mutt? That is, it'd check if ~/.muttrc exists, and if it doesn't it'd ask you a few questions the first
time you run it?
Mutt isn't very suitable for newbies, though. Pine is simpler to use, but it's a pity about the license. How about something like
Balsa as a standard mail program?
