I weigh in with the exmh crowd.  We've been hoping to cut a 2.1.0
release Real Soon Now for most of the (Northern Hemisphere) summer, I
think we'll get there Real Soon Now.  2.1.0 will have better PGP and GPG
support, among other things.  I fear it may be starting to suffer from
feeping creaturitis.

I've actually been pretty happy with the way that exmh deals with MIME
and HTML, so I'd be interested to hear what you think needs improvement
(maybe by private email if you don't want to clog the list any more than
it is already).

(For the record, the other mailers I've used before exmh were 
/usr/bin/mail and VM.)
