I use mutt, and have since about June last year. I also found it very hard to get into using a text-based Linux mail client, and considered pine as well. I chose mutt for a few reasons, including the fact that it is very configurable, it is standards compliant, and is quite Speakup friendly. I looked at the pine interface, but didn't like it as much. I was also able to find out more about Mutt than pine, which helped me make my decision. It is ultimately up to you, but I do recommend mutt, as you can configure it to your tastes, and once learnt, it is possible to work very quickly in it, with the aid of the Speakup review keys, which you will need to read email. Hope this helps. - -- Luke Get my public GPG key here: http://www.themuso.com/themuso-gpg-key.txt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCToqbjVefwtBjIM4RAsRZAJ9MNJuJTXyYDfe3PVxOeV9Z3C2s0ACgt/iJ vujMa5YWdpsyUsbKLr9bidc= =qoii -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
