html replies is THE reason I switched to Thunderbird. IMAP is the reason
I left evolution. I was trying to set it up & use it, and it kept
crashing, as in multiple times a day. Thunderbird can be setup in
windows OR linux, so I have it on both sides of my dual-boot systems
with XP.. And of course with a local Dovecot IMAP local user, I can
point to that folder from my laptop & see all my emails.( well, except
the gmail, and those can be setup in thunderbird too.)

it has been 10 years since I played with mutt on a UNIX system. Last
time I used it, it didn't do attachments or view HTLM mail, does it now,
or what do you do? Never played with Alpine, havta look that one up..
