New features include, among others, greatly improved IMAP support, and the muttrc file is now documented. It's compiling away in an SSH window as I type. I mucked about briefly with Pine . Couldn't remember why anyone would want to use it rather than Mutt. Then of course there is Emacs , which, in addition to the 1001 other things it can do, is supposed to be a spiffo e-mail tool as well.
Lynx is still used by a number of people, it seems, and it's still actively developed.
A user on my Qube asked for the latest experimental version, as the production version didn't have any of the 'exciting' features. I hope he was being funny. I came across another console web browser some weeks ago, but kill me if I can remember the name of it. Its chief improvement over Lynx was that it properly supported, or better supported, tables.
