8/25    mjm's mutt process has gone crazy again.
        \_ so?
           \_ curious what that boy is doing with mutt.
                \_ Doggy style
           \_ mjm killed the process and is going back to pine.  He wants
              to hear no more positive comparisons for mutt over pine.
              \_ Who told him to use mutt?  It's a POS.  If you want something
                 that's powerful, flexible, *never* runs wild buring cpu/memory
                 *and* has a community of people willing to help more than just
                 scream "pine sucks, use mutt!" you want mh/nmh.  So much for
                 the mutt experiment.  If you'd had mh problems people would've
                 helped.
        \_ mjm, what caused the switch back?
           \_ if my ssh connection is broken while in mutt, it starts
              eating up all the CPU (90%).

7/29    How do I get pine to work with mail? I have 1900 mails and I want
        to delete them. Or is there a better one to use? never learned
        'mail'..
        \_ mutt
           \_ so why doesn't alpine work? What setting should I use to have

3/10    What email program do people in Cal CS use nowadays?  In my school days
        people used /usr/bin/mail, then RMail in emacs, then VMail in emacs.
        After my days people used Elm, Pine, Mutt (I forgot which order).  In
        my first two jobs we could tell the seniority of fellow engineers based
        on which email program they use at work, because everyone used what
        they used to use in their school years.  In my last two jobs though,

4/17    Is IMAP up?  If not, how can I get pine/mutt to read my new
        maildir-based mail folder?
        \_ Pine and mutt both have native maildir support -- they should be
           able to access your inbox without any special configuration.  You
           can also use IMAP if you want, but only the secure version (imaps),
           Let me know if these aren't working for you.  --mconst

2/7     Has anyone got Pine to work in the new CSUA environment?  I
        didn't see anything in the FAQ that described this.  When I open
        up Pine I get:
        [Can't open /var/mail/theeric: not a selectable folder]
        When I try to do anything (i.e move up or down with arrow, hit I
        for mail), I get another error:

        \_ mailx has been replaced with a Maildir-aware version; it should
           work correctly now.  Pine should work using the default config as
           of last week; look at /csua/soda-changes.2007.01 for a detailed
