I prefer slang. Why? Well, mutt never seemed to work right in an xterm
when build against the system ncurses library (the background didn't
show up right). Once I got sick of that, I build Mutt with slang and it
works perfectly. A newer version of ncurses may have helped, I never
tried that. YMMV though, just try both, and see which is better for you.
