Documentation outside of this wiki: The Mutt home page is http://www.mutt.org/

• Download instructions and Mercurial (hg) access: http://www.mutt.org/download.html
• By default pressing F1 loads the manual in mutt (unless your window manager eats F1).
  • Otherwise find your locally installed copy by executing this cmd: "man mutt | grep manual.txt"
  • If you can't find them locally (often at /usr/*/doc/mutt/manual.txt(.gz)), then use the manuals at http://www.mutt.org/#doc
