Ah, you're making a perfectly reasonable assumption that I can't live
up to. I don't browse the web from the CLI and I don't do mail from
the CLI. I'm trying to think of other exceptions - I'm sure there are
one or two - but I guess those are the major ones.
I used mutt for a year or so (a decade ago), but configuring it always
required a huge amount of reading, editing text files, cursing, and
rinse and repeat. While vim is arguably the same, I found the rewards
greater - so I continue to use vim but these days I use Gmail's web
interface rather than mutt.
