\_ I doubt it.  Mutt is the most versatile, most powerful mail agent in
\_ existence.

<SPARK TYPE=HOLYWAR>
Ah, the cry of someone who has never used emacs to code a hook into
emacs' version control suite, auto submitted that change to a daily
log, and auto email the result to a administrator.

Do that in Mutt, if you can.  :-)

I've done it in emacs.

You'll never ever convince me that Mutt is *more* powerful than emacs
without a long pitched battle first, and perhaps not even then.  You
might convince me Mutt *approaches* emacs in vanilla configuration
without much of an argument tho.

Not to start more holywars than necessary, I'll admit to actually
having used :map in vi on purpose and had it do what I wanted it to.
