Hi,
just been trying out mutt-ng (the "next generation"). This is a
development fork after a bunch of guys seem to have lost patience with very
slow development of and/or refusal of patches from official mutt.

Seems to be rather nice, including:
- header caching (which has in fairness been added to mutt since)
- nntp support. Very nice for checking ilug on gmane.
c nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.ilug.general
- a side folder pane (like in Thunderbird/Outlook)
- better view support for format=flowed attachments
The header caching makes a big difference, you must enable it with
something like:
set header_cache="~/.mutt/headers"
regardless of which version of mutt you're using. Actually this patch had
been in the official Debian package for a while but I just hadn't
configured it.
