Have been using a combination of mutt and msmtp as a client for my mail system hosted with my provider attached to my personal domain. There seem to have been a whole lot of changes and the mutt client i had been using has undergone a whole lot of changes to the way it is packaged, turning it into an abomination. A little digging helped me find mutt-lite which works well, but is shown to be a development branch. Is there any alternative to mutt which can be considered simple yet capable of being used for everyday mail related activities? I checked out alpine, but the thing goes out to download Perl, which is kinda scary. Thanks, ~Mayuresh
