Does anyone have .muttrc snippets they'd like to share where is working in ?
I want to recommend to my friends but I also want to make sure people won't be tied to particular apps.

@icedquinn It's really not so bad, especially if you run it on the mailserver itself.
I used to use alpine until one day I realized the only copy I could find of the source was on my local machine.
That freaked me out a bit for something so exposed to data from potentially malicious people.

@swiley people who know tell me it's one of the best. aside from the lack of rich text. i just pop open the neomutt page and it tells me i can hook it up to notmuch and write macros and all that, but when it comes to just "here's my maildir" they go :blobcatlul:

@icedquinn I tried writting a complex mutt config for a little while. I really hate maintaining stuff like that. I think my current muttrc just has a pointer to my mbox file.

@swiley one of the more impressive things i saw from a mutt'er was not even in mutt really. they hooked up their postfix/msmtpd so it would take all their plaintext e-mails and run them through pandoc to add the html part before sending.

@icedquinn That's a neat trick, although their mail stack now has a haskell build dependancy which IMO isn't so great.

@swiley you could use multimarkdown. that one is a ~300k binary instead.
