I wasn't even going to get involved, but then this flame bait. ;-) What are
you basing that assessment on? It's been a few years since I looked at mutt,
but back then pine blew the doors off of it when it came to role support,
particularly in properly addressing replies, etc., based on recipient or
sender address, etc.

I've used pine for almost a decade (using vi(m) as the editor), and I've yet
to find a better alternative. I'll concede that I only occasionally look
since I'm already pretty happy, but still...
