I did not say Mutt or for that matter anything else was not a good replacment
for pine. Last time I looked at mutt (2 or 3 years ago) it's configuration
was a nightmare for me. I could not easially find the features I was used to
in pine. I guess I was not really into switching. I will say that I have used
mutt to automate the sending of mail attachments in some scripts I have
written and it performed well.

Oh and as to your statment above about going for an X-11 based solution I am 
one of those people who has yet to find a really usable X-11 email client.
That does not mean it does not exist just I have yet to find it, not that I 
have looked very hard.

At this point I am just exploring options. I could just stay with pine as long
as UW keeps supporting it. I am not sure what I will do yet.
