Speaking of mutt, back in ASCII the mutt package was actually neomutt,
but neomutt got it's own package now. neomut is what I use, but I use
the ASCII version, coz of two bugs.

Normally new emails are marked N, and you can mark emails as O. If
there's no N emails in a folider, it'll show you the first O one when you
enter the folder, then you can skip to the next O one. The bug is that
when you enter a folder the O's are shown as N, and act like them. NOt
that if you then go back to using the ASCII version, the O's are back as
they where.

But the real killer bug - random emails are marked as "to be deleted"
sometimes. So you get a "Purge 6 emails?" question when you leave a
folder sometimes.

I just tested the Daedalus version, it still has those bugs. So I'm
sticking with the ASCII version.
