Still, there are some who would like to take mutt to the next level. Mutt-NG is one of those projects. The NG stands for ``next generation'' and began as a mutt package that included all the various patches for downloading and sending, a sidebar for looking at all the other mail folders, andmore. It then turned briefly into a new product of its own, and quickly melted back into nothing more than a major patch that implements a folder sidebar and some additional functionality. I personally hope projects like these continue to evolve, and I hope the various factors that have to be dealt with in order to successfully take the pain out of using foreign character sets so installing mutt becomes a one step process. In the mean time, I'm happy to do what I have to in order to keep the power of mutt at my fingertips.
