That combination works for me. Don't forget fetchmail(1) as well. Oh,
and if you use emacs as your editor, grab a copy of mutt.{el,elc}
(can't remember where I got it, but you'll find a link somewhere at
http://www.mutt/org ). Also, for emacs, if you wish mutt to use an
existing emacs session for editing messages rather than starting a new
one add:
(server-start nil)
to ~/.emacs and create this script, /usr/local/bin/ec:
#!/bin/sh
( emacsclient $* || emacs $* ) > /dev/console 2>&1
and add this to ~/.muttrc:
set editor='ec'
