Omail, a Simple, Custom MUA

I've been fed up with bloated applications, always-on webmails, unintelligible TUIs with cryptic configuration so I built my own. It rests on the shoulders of giants that do all the work, and is basically some ~300 lines of glue to assemble them as I see fit. It's also an expression of a trend I want to see that goes the opposite direction of usual software practices: very small software made of handmade scripts and orthogonal pieces, such that I can understand it all and build it the way I want. It doesn't do much, but it does exactly what I want the way I want it.
