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.
