“Learn to write custom macros and set configurations that
will turn Mutt into a fast and easy-to-use text-based email
client….“
“Don’t balk because Mutt is text-based. A lot of folks prefer
graphical applications to text-based applications because they
believe that the word intuitive is synonymous with the phrase easy
to use.”
“Nothing could be further from the truth. For example, I happen
to love WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS, though there is nothing intuitive
about a word processor that relies so heavily on function keys. But
once I learned the default keys for the commands and programmed in
my own custom macros, I found WordPerfect extremely easy to use. In
fact, I still find it much easier to use a customized
character-mode editor than any of the graphical word processors
available on the market. Once all of the keystrokes become second
nature, I can type and manipulate text more quickly when my hands
never leave the keyboard than I can when I have to switch between
keyboard and mouse.”
