I know that it is configurable (and knew then), I just feels like the writers of mutt don't _want_ people who are used to pine switching over. It is easy to avoid software when you feel that the writers don't want you to use it. Pine may have a crappy license, but it has been written since day 1 to be easy to use (for tenured English profs and the like), and still have features that experienced users want. It isn't perfect, but I like it.
