I know that "me too" comments are frowned upon in HN, but I think in this context it would be useful for the author to know that at least one other person in addition to Touche also found the page very difficult to understand (and I am familiar with Mutt, Fetchmail, etc.)
- jaromilrojo 11y agoYou are both right. I've spent most time documenting this software into its manual, which is a PDF http://files.dyne.org/jaromail/jaromail-manual.pdf http://files.dyne.org/jaromail/jaromail-manual.pdf And srsly I did not expected it to be #11 on HN all of a sudden. This is all so niche...
- Touche 11y agoI actually did read some of the manual (which I appreciate the detail it has) but that didn't help my confusion because it seems to mostly overlap with Mutt, which would make sense if it was a Mutt competitor but it uses Mutt. As a small example, why is there a `jaro compose` command when you would normally just press `m` in Mutt? I don't follow how you expect people to use Jaro. It seems like you use email as something that you pop in and take a look at every now and then, is that correct? It makes sense with all of the commands you support; why would I use `jaro fetch` if I already have Mutt open and it automatically fetches new mails. So am I wrong in saying that leaving Mutt open all of the time is not how you do email?
