The trouble with GMail is that it is suboptimal when it comes to a
couple of things when compared to Mutt, _for me_:
- It's threading is linear, which is difficult to follow for long and
complex evolving threads.
- I prefer console goodness over a web based approach.
- GMail encourages top posting.
But I see the merit in using GMail; it's simple, easy and powerful to
use. Just that it's not for me.
