 [sigh].  Mail is a textual medium.  <rant>

Pine does mime, html etc. You can view attached images easily.
Its faster to display and control and any WIMP system. You can use a mouse
to point-and-drool if you really must.

  Ok, I'm a CLUE snob. Why? We all use netscape and not lynx for web.
But am I a dinosaur for preferring a text-based mail reader?
Why do some people refuse to consider one? 

Long live XTerm!
