I used Mutt for two years or so...then mailbox app came along. Then it updated yesterday. Now I'm back to using Mutt.

eli_oat | 12 years ago | on: Are symbols, myths and metaphors sort of like file compression for culture?

Noting that a myth can be enjoyed in and of itself, while a compressed file is really rather boring until it is uncompressed, I think you've hit on something I didn't think of at all. Thank you.

I'm wondering now if a more apt word would have been "encoding," rather than compression?
