i have mutt setup with different hooks. so for example when i send email to
one person sigfile_a is used but when i send email to someone else
sigfile_b is used. i also use mutts features to stick sentmail in
+sm/sent-mail-`date +'%Y-%b'` so this message will be in the folder
'~/mail/sm/sent-mail-2003-Jun'. also, all my addresses currently dump into
a mutt address book, i have save hooks based on different aspects of
message headers, integration of gpg is seemless.  there is a lot more that
mutt does, these are just a few examples. i guess i'm addicted. now,
webmutt, that would be handy.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless,
 whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or
 the holy name of liberty and democracy?
