If people want to reduce the size of Fedora Core (this opinion seems to
be pretty much unanimous) then we need to start making compromises like
this.
The problem with most MUAs, is that they don't support advanced
features, like SASL authentication (CRAM-MD5, Kerberos, X.509, etc) or
disconnected (offline) operation when using IMAP. That's one of the
reasons I keep using Evolution, since I *need* Kerberos authentication
support to access my IMAP mailbox. AFAIK, only Pine does also support
Kerberos authentication via SASL.
