[NCLUG] MUA

Time for my periodic survey of what others are doing. Just for background,
I've been in the field for 17 years and have trouble keeping up with
everything these days. I find myself using the same apps and solutions
just because I have for so long. But sometimes those don't seem to cut it
anymore. So that's why you see periodic questions asking who's doing what
for this or that.

Today's question: What are people using for MUAs?

I've been using pine for ~9 (?) years now (elm before that, mail before
that, except when I had a NeXT slab on my desk too), except for a
flirtation with netscape until I heard of web bugs. I actually really
liked the GUI for netscape, but I don't want an MUA that does HTML, or at
least one where I can't turn off all HTML usage. Netscape lets you turn it
off for composing/sending, but you're stuck with it on reading (or at
least were). Plus I wouldn't mind something less bloated than netscape if
I were to go back to an X app.

TIA, William
