  I don't understand that.  Mutt's config is basically "set it an forget
it".  I have to add/delete entries whenever I subscribe/unsubscribe to
mailing lists, but that's it.  Years ago, I used to read email on a true
text console.  Then the linux devs screwed that possibility with video
drivers that take over the text console too.  On a 1920x1080 monitor,
even Sun 12x22 fonts are on the small side.

  I still use mutt in an xterm, along with mc.  I've even cobbled
together a cute script that allows me to launch HDHomerun TV from the
commandline.
