I'm pretty impressed with Sylpheed Claws, but not using it at the
moment.  Probably will once I upgrade to SUSE 9.2.  Of course, I do
like Evolution's weather & news feed feature.  Beats the socks off of
Outlook.  Again, though, I have an antiquated version 'til upgrade
time.  I'm currently using Mozilla, simply because it works - but it
does get me in trouble on some lists, as I have to manually edit the
"Reply-to" address to delete the poster, and add the list address. :(

I've heard Mutt offers the ability to automate that, but I really am a
GUI kind of guy.  I suppose I could create a list user address, and
then use Mutt to retrieve all my list mail from that account.  Hmmm...
