Well, depends on you MTA dunnit - as mutt basically fires off sendmail
to send the mail... So, if you've got a heavy evil sendmail then it
might take more CPU cycles than LookOut. *grin*. (Either way, there's no
way in hell that I'm moving from mutt -> LookOut, ThunderBroken,
Evilution, KantMail or the other evil graphical clients ;) If mutt's
broken, less, grep and sed are your friends :)
