Keep on rocking, this is an important thread, so I hope it is being heard :)
[speculative] Not at all out off-topic. In these points (and few others) we have all. Mutt it seems me powerful and compliant and I don't need anymore. As Pine (quite easy). The other solutions seems to be now a little bit on-the-edge, but don't require to hack on termcap for open with lynx the deprecated html-formatted mail. Are we in needing of a X application capable to inherit the power (and stability) of Mutt? I expect something from Evolution or the future releases of Kmail and to find an agreement to elect the new Mail Client for the next ten years? We need also a free, powerful wordprocessor. Or a great application that can convert (or maybe just read) and keep close distance to the running MS Word versions, and all the crazyness of his document formats; in my opinion Word-Of-The-Hell has become a standard. All the people I work with, use Word2000 in advanced way. And I still need the Windows section with Office put in:(.
