Excuse me,
I didn't mean "use mutt instead of balsa". I meant "use mutt for that
and that and return to balsa". In fact, mutt is very-very good between
MUAs, and it wont hurt to make balsa closer to mutt.
But as I came to balsa right from the mutt, I'll try to answer you.
1. My experience with mutt shows me it's great using it along with
balsa. E.g. at work I use balsa and at home - the mutt. They perfectly
share my ~/Mail folder, that contains maildir folders in it.
2. Mutt does not send anything through the net (SMTP), as it was
designed as a pure MUA. Transferring mail is a work of MTA. It's
arguable, considering that they implemented POP3/IMAP/SSL, but did not
SMTP. This point is well defined in the mutt's FAQ.
3. It's not easy to start with (at least not as easy as balsa). But
possibly you don't need to, as I offered just to extract messages from
digests to a mailfolder, and then just start balsa again and use it
for
reading, replying, etc. I say so, because if you are going to continue
playing with mutt, we risk to lose another user in favor of mutt :)

I had not thought of this yet. I can see how it would work. I will try
this until balsa has that ability. I don't mind mutt. Years ago I used
elm and pine. I just like the simplicity of balsa.
I managed to set up mutt to open the folder where I keep my debian
digest messages. We shall see how much fun it is...
