Pine's awesome, but mutt's better. Given that I make that claim while
still primarily using pine (the intention is there, but the switching cost
needs to be handled at a convenient time), I'd like to say that I
recognize that the problem is not the fault of mutt designers; rather,
it's my own ingrained habits which need to be overcome by relearning or
accomodated by configuring the .rc file. The designers of mutt had a
bigger functionality set in mind, and were coming from different
backgrounds, so it's excusable for them to not give such high priority to
adopting pine interface features.
