It may be a rhetorical question, but just in case... some people like the
fact that mutt automatically shows all the messages in threads news-style,
which makes it a lot easier to read messages from the mailing lists. I
found a workaround to do something similar in pine though by sorting the
messages according to the subject line and the date, so that all messages
on the same topic are bundled together. I also like pine better. ;-)
I got another question for you though. How do you select say all messages
in a certain folder in pine? Or perhaps from message 1 to message 45, in
order to save them, delete them... whatever.
