I just want to put it out there, that regardless of if this is a "fight worth fighting" or not. Email was a nightmare for me. I could not keep up. Coworkers would catch themselves and laugh when they asked if I'd gotten an email.
Switching to neomutt has changed everything for me. I now mmaintain Inbox Zero.
I write in markdown. I convert it into a multipart email with HTML in one keystroke for everyone else.
Other benefits:
I don't know this for a fact, but i suspect that HTML email has got to _suck_ for visually impaired people using screen readers.
plaintext email means no tracking by marketers, or facebook, or anyone else.
plaintext emails are also _way_ shorter. There is so much less crap to mentally deal with when all the marketing BS has been stripped away.
plaintext emails give you a glimpse into just how much you're tracked too. Nevermind the privacy aspects of seeing the real url, you see that the "real" url is multiple lines long because of all the tracking they've embedded in it. It makes you think twice before clicking it.
- tomjen3 7y agoWhat is it about neomutt that allows you to be that efficient with your emails?
- benoliver999 7y agoFor me it's not mutt so much as being able to write and edit in vim. I can reply in-line, quickly chop out chunks of text etc etc. I'm not one to shout at people for not using plain text etc but I personally quite like it.
