Again, my $0.02: Linux, BSD: Mutt <http://www.mutt.org/> Plan 9*: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Plan_9_applications#Email_and_News_programs> ReactOS: Mutt via Cygwin <http://www.cygwin.com/> or possibly Mutt 32 <http://www.oocities.org/win32mutt/win32.html> * I haven't worked with email on Plan9 as yet x) -- Scott Elcomb @psema4 on Twitter / Identi.ca / Github & more Atomic OS: Self Contained Microsystems http://code.google.com/p/atomos/ Member of the Pirate Party of Canada http://www.pirateparty.ca/ -- Too many emails?
