People who want a simple text mail client will use Alpine or similar.
Mutt's possibly the most “complicated” text MUA.

I don't use mutt because of its “simplicity”, I use it because of its
power and flexibility.

And I'm closely following this thread because I'm one of the “strange”
people who'd _like_ mutt to be able to handle outgoing multipart
messages; I was trying to achieve exactly that, three years ago:

The current number of configuration options suggests otherwise, and mutt
would lose most of its appeal for me if it trimmed down the number of
options.

There are dozens of mutt options I turn off, yet I won't argue they need
to be removed just because they're not part of _my_ use case.  I can
appreciate everyone's needs are different and what works best for me
will likely not work best for everyone.
