I'm also a gnus fan. It has a bit of a learning curve, but it is quite capable. I used to really love nmh, which is a suite of tools for mail handling. Instead of working inside a monolithic email program, the nmh user manipulates their email using various small shell commands. It's a totally different paradigm. Unfortunately, it doesn't play all that well with typical modern mail configurations. For instance, I keep my mail on a VPS, and I read it with IMAP, rather than pulling it down to my local machine. If you're willing to read mail from the shell on your mail server, or you're willing to pull it down to the local machine using getmail or fetchmail, then nmh works beautifully. -- Chris
