I like it. It's somewhat reminiscent of this one we used to use called Pine :) I think sourcehut guy made this, right? edit: yep sourcehut guy. they also made this cool guide here: https://git-send-email.io/

Drew (sourcehut guy) wrote the original from the look of it, but that's now unmaintained and this is a fork: https://git.sr.ht/~rjarry/aerc

Also sway, but hacker news doesn't always hold him in that high of an opinion, probably mostly of his Rust criticisms...

rjarry is doing a good job of maintaining it now. I will eventually write a new mail client with the benefit of hindsight.

Was threading support ever added? I recall there being a few attempts. I tried aerc out for quite a bit but ultimately had to give it up for neomutt b/c mailing list discussions were impossible to follow without threading support.

Yes.
