Returning to the question about Mutt.
Why to complicate a life when all mailing tasks perfectly can do
simple
command 'Mail'?
What the hell does that mean?
That is reflections about what is best way to send and receive mail.
You're a n00b.  Stop philosophizing and just start using a standard
GUI mail client that fits well with your desktop.  KMail for KDE;
Icedove or Evolution for GNOME.
That's a bit harsh.  Sometimes, /usr/bin/mail really is best.
$ mail user -s subject < file
is often the best way to get the job done.

Absolutely!  If you have properly configured an MTA to so that the
world doesn't see it as ill-written spam.

But 99.44% of all people can't do that, and are anyway afraid of the
CLI, thus rely on others to do all the hard work for them.

To configure MTA (exim4) is half hour job and it is easy.
How many time person must spent for configuring Mutt?
