Pine. Evolution. Mutt.

I'm using Sylpheed which is a minimalist GUI mail client. Has a lot of the
features you'd expect from Pine, the GUI you'd expect from a GNOME app,
and it's very lightweight.

The mailing list is full of Pine/ELM bigots who hate all things GUI but
have finally conceded they need a GUI on something. Thus was born
Sylpheed.

It doesn't support HTML mail in any way except this: it'll strip all HTML
tags and display the HTML email as text. Usually it's (HTML email) quite
ugly, but completely readable.

Personally, I plan to move to either Mozilla or Evolution sometime (I've
started evaluating Evolution) but I have a 1GHz 512MB laptop, so those two
are really options for me. Apparently Sylpheed runs quite happily on...
well... less-powered machines.
