I agree with you here. Further, I&#x27;ll add that it being 100kloc and not Thunderbird etc tells us nothing about its security. It will have plenty of flaws that show up when hackers decide it&#x27;s worth the time just maybe less. I do like simple, console apps for all the security tech I can easily use with them. Doubt the mutt users are doing that outside MAC, jails, etc.<p>But just using mutt is giving up much usability and features with little benefit in security. They&#x27;re better off using good config and sandboxing with a client that gets more audits and bug fixes.
