In the Testing repository both are available.  Mutt is at version
1.10.1-2 and neoMutt is at version 20180716+dfsg.1-1.  I am using the
neomutt package due to its offering of additional attachment header
highlighting capability.

If you are satisfied with Mutt's capability it will work well.  I've
been using Mutt for almost 20 years and it has continued to serve me
well without any surprises.  Weigh the features of each against what you
wish to accomplish and choose the one that is best for you.
