Well you live and learn - mutt on windows ;) However, given how long it
has taken me to operate mutt successfully, I reckon it's a tall order for
most windoze users. And I'm still struggling with my set up .... not
managed to implement procmail yet and the cron job to "getmail" is being
mailed to me every 5 five minutes... but that's another story;)

Yeah mutt is certainly worth persevering with. In spite of no spam
filtering or procmail I still find it quicker and better to handle my
mail (and I get buckets of spam plus the copious posts on debian-user)
than Mail on OSX or Eudora - I never did like OE.
Happy if still struggling ;)
