This sounds even better, have a section on mail clients and describe
some of the more common ones (mutt, pine, sylpheed) so that users
can get up and running with email fast. Originally, I was thinking
about a text based and a menu based section, which would describe
mutt for text based and sylpheed for menu. Any suggestions?
Note: I really do not want to get in depth with many clients, it
would become to difficult to maintain.
