    Pine.  It Isn't Just For Unix Anymore!
   There are Win32 ports now.  I think there's a fairly stable MacOS <10
 port.
   Mutt has more features, and allows more granular tuning, but Pine is
 way easy to drive. 
Okay.  I'm probably the last person still using Microsoft Mail.  It works
okay, but I can't find any information about security holes (or lack of
them) in this program, and it does not include the headers in messages
which I forward, so it's no good for reporting spam.

Sellam, I tried Pegasus v4 and the windows kept popping up in really odd
locations and sizes.  It also has *way* more bells and whistles than I
need.

Doc, I tried Pine, but the Win9x version requires that I be on-line to read
email.  I want to send/receive, logoff, and then read and compose new mail.
 Other than that, it looks okay.

Can some one suggest a simple offline email handler that isn't giving that
"come hither" look to every Trojan on earth?  And that's free?
