What is wrong with keeping it in there? My latest version of the
etiquette patch moves my Mutt MUA config notes to this section on MUAs.
It could eventually become a somewhat exhaustive reference of MUA
tweaks. Old tools may not be popular but they sometime have niche uses
and/or userbases. My recent switch to Mutt has been mixed at best and I
went back to take a look at mh/nmh to see if I liked it better and I may
give it a go for a while to kick the tires, likely making me the only
developer that uses nmh.

Keeping these notes on old tools--at the bottom of documentation no
less--seems to have little to no "cruft cost" with the potential of
helping somebody someday, even if nostalgia is the only reason.

Cheers!
Dave
