MUTT!!!!!

Sorry, I mean

mutt.

But really the first line expresses my appreciation much better. :-)

mutt is text based, works with imap or local spools, has mailing list
features (registered mailing lists get treated differently than ordinary
email), can thread conversations (very useful for grrltalk and issues!),
allows you to use your favourite editor for composing (even emacs if
you're so obsessed^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hinclined...), is customisable in millions
of different ways (I have it set up to check outgoing mails for the word
"attach" and if found, check to see if I *did* attach the file), Oh, and
Telsa has a very nice, well documented .muttrc available which is very
helpful when getting started.
