Yes there is, I connect to a VM using SSH and my Windows screenreader
does not like curses interface and maybe .other interface(s) as well

Regarding Alpine/re-alpine, it is somewhat better accessible then Mutt
but far from usable at first glance.

Regarding gnus, is only for emax, if I'm not mistaking and I'm a vim
user! :)

Regarding "mail", I'll look into that, thanks tomas@tuxteam.de.

My goal in all of this is to move away from Enigmail/Thunderbird for the
following reasons:
- Thunderbird moving from enigmail to use his own GPG implementation
- Using GPG with multiple signing subkies


Sendmail/msmtp could do what I want, I'll look into that.

Thanks to Jonathan Dowland <jon@dow.land> for Mutt and 'slang'.

Thanks to Reco <recoverym4n@enotuniq.net> for his input.


Thanks to anyone else for their input.
