I see... Me too wants something similar. I depend heavily on mutt,
though. I have an exim running on my localhost (laptop) that delivers
mails directly :( I have a dyndns.org setup. I dont have any ISP
provided SMTP. What is the best way of getting this done (in mutt)
without having to run exim?

Doesn't it also support the EDITOR variable?

Sure ;)

So you neither run fetchmail... how do you do the filtering? I guess
this 'cone' thing has in-built filtering.
