extension requests: mutt and calcurse
« on: March 10, 2010, 12:30:13 PM »
I scanned the forums for any mention of the mutt e-mail client, and I guess I was a little surprised when I didn't get any results.  It seems like such a natural fit for TC.  Did I miss something?

Anyway, I'd like to request a mutt extension, and due to the way my work e-mail is set up, I'd like to see it compiled to include IMAP and SSL/TLS support.  I imagine this would require libssl.  And since mutt doesn't support smtp by itself, I guess someone would need to compile an SMTP handler like sendmail, postfix, or msmtp.

Also, I have really come to like calcurse and would like to see a calcurse extension as well.  It's a nifty little console-based calendar/todo app, which supports ICS file import/export, calendar printing (via pcal) and configurable notification options (I use xmessage).  Would probably require libncurses, but not much more than that, I think, although pcal would be nice for printing calendars.

Thanks.

Doug

Just built mutt extension. Will be submitted after testing. BTW, alpine is there in the repo since a long time which is also a text based email client.
