Can't speak for other but I can tell you about pine.

Attachments no problesm at all.
_correctly_ sent MIME multi-part messages fine.
any attachment (includeing HTML) can be configured to have an external
viewer, images = ee, html=mozilla etc etc

pine rocks.  and it is still fast over a modem .... try running a remote
X mail client over a 56k connection

I have only heard good things about mutt, and I'm fairly confident in saying
that everything I've said about pine is true for mutt.

Yours Tony.
