Mutt is a text-mode mail user agent. Mutt supports color, threading,

it, or if you are new to mail programs and have not decided which one
you are going to use.

Update Information:

This update fixes two security issues:

The APOP protocol allows remote attackers to guess the first 3 characters of a password via man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks that use crafted message IDs and MD5 collisions. (CVE-2007-1558)

Buffer overflow in Mutt 1.4.2 might allow local users to execute arbitrary code via "&" characters in the GECOS field, which triggers the overflow during alias expansion. (CVE-2007-2683)
