By Roles support I mean having my e-mail replies be properly addressed (i.e.,
if someone e-mails acorliss@nevaeh-linux.org it should use that address as the
reply-to. If I recieve mail that went to aklug@aklug.org it should use
acorliss@nevaeh-linux.org. If I recieve mail from anyone in the
corlissfamily.org domain it should automatically use arthur@corlissfamily.org,
etc.). Since I have twenty-some odd e-mail addresses, but I tend to funnel
them all to my one account, this is a *big* issue for me, and something that
mutt never seemed to be able to handle gracefully.

As to your options above, you may be right about pine's poor support in that
area. It's not an issue for me since 99% of the time all I do is
reply-to-sender or reply-to-all.

I'm not a big IMAP user, but pine was specifically designed to work well with
UW's IMAP server, of course.
