FWIW, I haven't noticed any serious quirks in Mutt (yet), and I can tend to
be rather picky about a mailer, since it's one of the most used apps, if not
THE most. I'm still very much the neophyte, but one thing I like about Mutt
(or maybe vim, really) is the "gqap" macro that will fix wrapping for a
whole paragraph.

I've even considered switching to Mutt at work, running under Cygwin, since
we aren't using Exchange. Everyone at work is currently using Outlook/OE,
which are badly written, have a looooong startup time, and have a huge
memory footprint to boot. The only thing stopping me is that just lately
some folks have been using it to schedule meetings and such, and I don't
know how well Mutt would interact with that. Anyone here have experience
with Mutt at work in an M$ world?
