I find mutt a quite capable mailer for Unix/Linux systems; its design
and look-and-feel resemble elm and pine, which is not surprising given
its history. It also has what I consider a feature: it does *not* have
an X-based interface, but a simple, easy-to-use, small, efficient
character-based one. This eliminates the need to take my hands off
the keyboard, which makes it a pleasure to use. Combined with procmail
to handle filtering/filing, and fetchmail to handle POP/IMAP, it makes
for quite a nice system.
