I use mutt to annoy my colleagues...

Well, not really.  I like it 'cos I do it over ssh from work to home.
'cos it does IMAP with work's MS Exchange server.  'cos it knows when it's
a mailing list.  'cos I can colour list mails a different colour to
personal.  'cos I can colour spam black on black.  (No, I can't really,
mutt won't accept black on black as a colour scheme...).  'cos it does
pretty threading.  'cos it uses vim for composing.  'cos I can write an
outgoing filter that looks for suggestions that there should be an
attachment and then asks why I didn't attach one.  (It'll ask me for this
message 'cos I'm not attaching anything.  'cos it annoys one of my
colleagues.  (Oops!  I wasn't going to use it for that reason [evil grin]...)
