Anyone here use it and wouldn't mind the imposition of demo'ing it?

Having used pine for well at least a decade the Maildir patch is largely umzaintained since I updated/maintained it back in 4.3.

I keep hearing mutt is better and I'd like to see why and I'm sure others on this list would too.

Mutt is great, I use it all the time. I mix both mutt and claws-mail in my daily use.

The best thing I could offer is probably my ~/.mutt/muttrc:

set folder="~/Maildir" set abort_unmodified=no set editor="/bin/nano -z -t --fill=74" set from="you@yourdomain.ca" set record="=.Sent" set date_format="%Y%m%d %H:%M:%S" set index_format="%4C %Z %{%y%m%d} %-30.30t %-15.15L (%?l?%4l&%4c?) %4H %s" ignore * unignore Date: From: To: Subject: X-Spambayes-Classification: hdr_order Date To From Subject X-Spambayes-Classification color header red default Date: color header white default To: color header yellow default From: color header cyan default Subject: color header green default X-Spambayes-Classification: spam "X-Spambayes-Classification: spam; ([0-9.]+)" "%1"

Mutt's keys are almost the same as pine so there's not too much to learn. And it's infinitely customizable, as you can see from the *_format's above.
