[lug] Mutt versus Pine

I've been toying with the idea of trying to switch from Pine to Mutt.  No
particularly good reason other than a lot of people I respect seem to like
Mutt.  I've been tinkering a bit this afternoon, and it looks to me like
Mutt works fine, but ...

   - Does Mutt have an address book, if so how do you use it?

   - How do you setup the default behavior?  I'm guessing there is a
     config file so will go see if I can find it.

   - Can one have what in Pine is called a "Role"?  That sets ones "From:"
     header depending on a set of address rules.

One question is, do people prefer Mutt over Pine, and if so why? I guess
maybe I need a bit of a push.
