Well, I started out with the basic Unix mail program years ago,
collecting my incoming mail using uucp. It was better than most of the
alternatives, including Compuserve and BBS setups (which I also used).
When things went to a GUI under Windows 3.1, I adopted Eudora, then
Calypso, then...a list of others and finally am using Thunderbird under
Linux.
It's pretty decent. I don't have any problems viewing content.
Generally, I maintain two levels in my personal work--one is mostly
up-to-date in tools; the other is mostly older tools that I'm used to
and can use efficiently. That includes a full-screen editor that hails
back to my 8080 days and has been 'ported many times.
