My neomutt config

As I've mentioned before, I spend an unreasonable amount of time tweaking and overthinking configs for various tools but my email client, neomutt, more than most. As the kind of fossil who got his start with elm, I find mutt downright luxurious.

Since most of my config was cribbed from various examples posted on blogs all over the internet, it seems only fair to include mine in case it might be useful to someone. Sometime soon, I'm planning on releasing all my configs in a proper repo but I'm lazy and no one is paying me for that.

The real star of my email setup, however, is feedmail. It allows me to keep out of the algorithmic hellscape that is Reddit and focus on the things I have actually decided I want to see rather than the things that grab my attention in the moment. The improvement in my mood is truly shocking to me.
