## Installation and Dependencies
dialog, neomutt and offlineimap should be installed. You also need to have a GPG public/private key pair for the wizard to automatically store your passwords. The whole repo should be cloned to `~/.config/mutt/`. (If you have a previous mutt folder, you'll want to back it up or delete it first.)

### Non-essential dependencies
The automatically deployed configs will look for certain programs for certain extra abilities. Consider installing the following for the extra functionality.
+ `urlview` -- Detecting and following links with `ctrl-u`
+ `mupdf` -- for viewing attached pdfs (`v` to view attachments, then select .pdf)
+ `notmuch` -- for mail searching and indexing set to `ctrl-f`. Be sure to run `notmuch setup`. Remember your mail is in `~/.mail/` when you configure notmuch.
+ `w3m` and/or `w3mimg` -- for viewing images. Like .pdfs, view in the attachments menu.
### "Wait? The script asks for my passwords?"
Look at the code. The script takes the passwords you give it, encrypts them immediately with your own GPG key, and shreds the leftovers. Nothing malicious; it's all there! If it makes you comfortable you can even run the script offline at first.
