I'm wondering what is difficult about setting up mutt.
In /etc/Muttrc, the only change I made, other than to ignore some
headers, was
set record=""
so that I don't have a default sent folder.
and in ~/.muttrc, other than aliases for family, friends, and mailing
lists, I just have the subscribe lists for mailing lists, eg:
alias debian-user debian-user@lists.debian.org
subscribe debian-user@lists.debian.org
Thats it. I send mail and it goes to exim4 that sends it to my ISP as a
smarthost, and away it goes from there.
Sure, you can get fancy and have mutt or other things sort and slice,
dice, and cook the mail. I've never had the need.
Doug.
