It does it a little too well for me... sometimes I don't even
know whether I'm looking at html mail or text mail.
One GREAT advantage is that when those idiots send you
HTML e-mails that download 27 graphics to your e-mail
program, you can simply read them "lynx" style first...
and then either delete or view in a graphical browser.

You can do essentially the same thing without the
"bloat" of X. In the console, PINE is full-screen,
and "clicking" a link simply switches out to a full-
screen SVGALIB Arachne.
