I’ve been using Mutt lately. (I’ll post more later on how I overcame my objections to it…. and how to make it work with multiple Gmail accounts forwarded to each other — which was my major headache actually). Unfortunately, urlview crashes if you download the source (ftp://ftp.guug.de/pub/mutt/contrib/) and compile it natively on Snow Leopard.
Well, after a ton of searching, posting to the Mutt Mailing list and what not, Brenden Cully (The maintainer of the fink package for OSX) posted this patch to urlview.c. The code will make urlview compile correctly and run on Snow Leopard (10.6). I still haven’t figured out the bugs with lbdb and ABQuery on Snow Leopard yet, but once I get that patched up, we’ll be good to go. Then I’ll post why I’ve finally reverted back to using Mutt (instead of Gmail) for my desktop email.
