This is a list of programs that can be useful in cooperation with Mutt. If you use something else together with Mutt, feel free to report it and have it added to the list as an aid for others in their search. Please bear in mind, though, that the list is mainly geared towards Windows (in all incarnations). And Do report broken links!

• Prahlad Vaidyanathan has got a similar list aimed towards Unix systems.
• The links page of www.mutt.org lists some popular choices as well.
• And so does the MuttTools page at wiki.mutt.org.
