people still use elm?

I'm personally using the 'patterns-filters2' rule in alpine for managing
my mailing lists.

I've considered switching to mutt, but I haven't used elm or its
derivatives in over a decade. (elm didn't have good MIME support, and I
was getting tired of jumping through hoops for every attachment...
although, it was *much* better than pine if you were connecting at 1200
baud, as it didn't redraw the screen constantly)
