[SlugLUG] mail client wars?

[Thomas Leavitt]

pico comes with pine (a non "free" program)

which inspires this thought:

what's your favorite text mode mail reading program?

i've missed elm's super easy keyboard short cuts for slicing and dicing
my mailbox and its speed and efficiency ever since i switched over to a
gui mail client... it was so easy and FAST to input a regex select or
mark mail for deletion, etc. plus, of course, having vi as my default
editor was great... as far as I can tell, it isn't supported / developed
any longer... i had to dig pretty hard to find a copy of it for Mandriva

is there a gui email client that has this type of functionality?

a lot of the less sophisticated employee users at my web hosting company
were more comfortable using pine and pico for some reason, than elm and vi
