Whatever, I don't need to argue this. I love xbuffy.

Mine does that just fine. I click on it with the left mouse button,
and mutt pops open, I click on it with the right mouse button and
I get a list of messages. I click on it with the middle mouse
button, and it marks them all as read to xbuffy. Note, I have
a customised xbuffy, Debian's xbuffy has different mouse button
assignments.

Do tell why your top shows two CPU lines and mine only one -- this
is also an SMP system, and it works fine, utilising both CPUs...

And what you seem to forget: it's all about the choice.

I am glad you are happy with your choices.
