Probably right.

I'm running version 2.8.3 on my FC6 system now.  I need to see whay
Xubuntu uses.  

I would prefer using Mutt but Mutt has a hard time (speed) when dealing
with dealing with my mailboxes that are huge.  Also mutt can not display
HTML mail.  To solve the HTML issue I wrote a script for 'htmlview' that
would use links to convert to text.
