Deficiencies with mutt:

• sending is either synchronous or basically throwaway - I have to remember to check syslog to see whether my message was sent??
• mbox and maildir suck
• doesn't seem to have a plugin system really - extensions are compiled in?
• flexibility has a cost - a single back-end and a single protocol set (e.g. always TLS, IMAP and SMTP) could cover most cases and simplify substantially
• difficult to have secure storage

for the next time a technocrat faffs on about how everything would be ok If People Just Respected Statistics And Data:

Through the state's statistical fetishism, a de-contextualised and dated
statistic derived from vague sources comes to represent reality. Zombie-like,
this statisic rises from the grave, consuming hunters, fishers and gatherers
and their bush foods along with entire outstations so that they can no longer
be seen by the state. Fetishised, it gains a magical power over other evidence
that either challenges or contextualises it. It also gains a power over
Indigenous communities, as this statistical abstraction becomes a means for
creting their reality rather than merely representing it. It is used as
