Well, thanks for getting the word out to those of us
who are more comfortable with the CLI and some mix of
graphic tools. Most of my mail is ASCII or ISO.8859-1,
but I'll get the occasional bunch of snapshots or whatever
that is a pain to use. ....

I don't have any trouble with X. I've gotten used to having
two or three xterms/workspace. And by default, I use vi [nvi]
with mutt. :-)

I'll pass on procmail; I've used t back in the 90's but it
was overkill. It's good enough to store mail in ~/Mail/<user>.
I've written several program to cleanse mail of all but headers
and the body.
