[aur-general] Mutt vs Gmail (Was: An idea for vim scripts/plugins)

[Ricardo Martins]

Heh, I knew you would say that.

I can't get used to vimperator (tried it several times) and I like mutt's
interface better than gmail's (for instance, mutt's threads view is way
clearer, imo).

I also found that I could read all new emails much faster in mutt than
in gmail -- I just TAB my way around in each label/directory instead
of clicking and scrolling. My muscle/finger memory makes me more
efficient at using mutt than the web interface, that's all.
