Oh it's not that bad!
For the OP: I use and love mutt and agree that all MUAs suck, but mutt
sucks least.
I started out using Pine at uni. Pine is ok as far as an MUA goes, but
after a while you start to come across its limitations and you can't
make it do *exactly* what you want.
So my suggestion is to try Pine first (maybe look at Alpine which is the
next generation Pine. This is in sid and lenny. If you're running Etch,
there is prolly a backport or you can install pine-tracker (I think
that's what it's called) which provides an easy way to install Pine on
Etch.
Once you have used Pine for a bit and tweaked it to do as much as it can
for you, then try the leap to mutt. You could keep using pico to edit in
mutt until you are ready to move onto something tastier. (Vim of course,
not Emacs.)
