But I also like KDE's interface and application set.  I love Kontact.  I
think it's awesome.  I think it's superior to Outlook in many respects.
For example, I can navigate between messages with the left & right arrow
keys, and then use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through a message.
No need to reach for the mouse to change focus.

Web browsing with Lynx or Links or whatever is pretty fun for the
experience of it, but really, can you watch Youtube in Lynx?  That said, I
do see great advantages on the command line for many other tasks.  I tried
the mutt thing once.  That did not last very long.  Not that I shouldn't
give it another whirl, but not likely to happen real soon.  :-)
