+<title>Configuration </title>
+
+<para>
+Mutt-ng does <emphasis>not</emphasis> feature an internal configuration
+interface or menu due to the simple fact that this would be too
+complex to handle (currently there are several <emphasis>hundred</emphasis>
+variables which fine-tune the behaviour.)
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Mutt-ng is configured using configuration files which allow
+users to add comments or manage them via version control systems
+to ease maintenance.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Also, mutt-ng comes with a shell script named <literal>grml-muttng</literal>
+kindly contributed by users which really helps and eases the
+creation of a user's configuration file. When downloading the
+source code via a snapshot or via subversion, it can be found in
+the <literal>contrib</literal> directory.

+<title>Functions </title>
+
+<para>
+Mutt-ng offers great flexibility due to the use of functions:
+internally, every action a user can make mutt-ng perform is named
+``function.'' Those functions are assigned to keys (or even key
+sequences) and may be completely adjusted to user's needs. The
+basic idea is that the impatient users get a very intuitive
+interface to start off with and advanced users virtually get no
+limits to adjustments.

+<title>Interaction </title>
+
+<para>
+Mutt-ng has two basic concepts of user interaction:
+</para>
+
+<para>
+
+<orderedlist>
+<listitem>
+
+<para>
+There is one dedicated line on the screen used to query
+the user for input, issue any command, query variables and
+display error and informational messages. As for every type of
+user input, this requires manual action leading to the need of
+input.
+
+</para>
+</listitem>
+<listitem>
+
+<para>
+The automatized interface for interaction are the so
+called <emphasis>hooks</emphasis>. Hooks specify actions the user wants to be
+performed at well-defined situations: what to do when entering
+which folder, what to do when displaying or replying to what
+kind of message, etc. These are optional, i.e. a user doesn't
+need to specify them but can do so.
+
+</para>
+</listitem>
+

+<title>Modularization </title>
+
+<para>
+Although mutt-ng has many functionality built-in, many
+features can be delegated to external tools to increase
+flexibility: users can define programs to filter a message through
+before displaying, users can use any program they want for
+displaying a message, message types (such as PDF or PostScript)
+for which mutt-ng doesn't have a built-in filter can be rendered
+by arbitrary tools and so forth. Although mutt-ng has an alias
+mechanism built-in, it features using external tools to query for
+nearly every type of addresses from sources like LDAP, databases
+or just the list of locally known users.

+<title>Patterns </title>
+
+<para>
+Mutt-ng has a built-in pattern matching ``language'' which is
+as widely used as possible to present a consistent interface to
+users. The same ``pattern terms'' can be used for searching,
+scoring, message selection and much more.

+<title>Index </title>
+
+<para>
+The index is the screen that you usually see first when you
+start mutt-ng. It gives an overview over your emails in the
+currently opened mailbox. By default, this is your system mailbox.
+The information you see in the index is a list of emails, each with
+its number on the left, its flags (new email, important email,
+email that has been forwarded or replied to, tagged email, ...),
+the date when email was sent, its sender, the email size, and the
+subject. Additionally, the index also shows thread hierarchies:
+when you reply to an email, and the other person replies back, you
+can see the other's person email in a "sub-tree" below. This is
+especially useful for personal email between a group of people or
+when you've subscribed to mailing lists.
+</para>
+

+
+<sect2>
+<title>Pager </title>
+
+<para>
+The pager is responsible for showing the email content. On the
+top of the pager you have an overview over the most important email
+headers like the sender, the recipient, the subject, and much more
+information. How much information you actually see depends on your
+configuration, which we'll describe below.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Below the headers, you see the email body which usually contains
+the message. If the email contains any attachments, you will see
+more information about them below the email body, or, if the
+attachments are text files, you can view them directly in the
+pager.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+To give the user a good overview, it is possible to configure
+mutt-ng to show different things in the pager with different
+colors. Virtually everything that can be described with a regular
+expression can be colored, e.g. URLs, email addresses or smileys.

+<title>File Browser </title>
+
+<para>
+The file browser is the interface to the local or remote
+file system. When selecting a mailbox to open, the browser allows
+custom sorting of items, limiting the items shown by a regular
+expression and a freely adjustable format of what to display in
+which way. It also allows for easy navigation through the
+file system when selecting file(s) to attach to a message, select
+multiple files to attach and many more.

+<title>Sidebar </title>
+
+<para>
+The sidebar comes in handy to manage mails which are spread
+over different folders. All folders users setup mutt-ng to watch
+for new mail will be listed. The listing includes not only the
+name but also the number of total messages, the number of new and
+flagged messages. Items with new mail may be colored different
+from those with flagged mail, items may be shortened or compress
+if they're they to long to be printed in full form so that by
+abbreviated names, user still now what the name stands for.
