And have I recently mentioned that I really like (not quite love)
NetBSD's pkgsrc on OS X?   (It's their instance of /usr/ports/ on
Mac OS X, Solaris and now AIX, Linux and working on OSF/1).

cd /usr/pkgsrc/mail/mutt ; /usr/pkg/bin/bmake install package clean

and I get a REAL mail reader for the Mac.

(and for ELM curmudgeons, that works too).

Love will come when cyrus 2.2 compiles right.
