+  Notmuch is a great mail indexing tool that can also be used *in conjunction*
+  with existing Mail User Agents (MUA) instead of replacing them. The advantage
+  of such mixed solutions is that users can benefit from notmuch features (such
+  as full-text search and thread reconstruction) without *having to* change
+  MUA.
+
+  A popular geek MUA is [the Mutt e-mail client](http://www.mutt.org);
+  integrating notmuch with Mutt is fairly straightforward. An
