It may be that he is right, you know.
But if you really would like to give Mail a chance you may want to
have a look at the S-nail (later S-mailx) derivative i maintain.
There is a port in the OpenBSD tree but for now i think you would
be better off compiling from source - that is easy, on OpenBSD,
just say "make all WANT_READLINE=yes" and then "make install" as
root.  The source is at [1] or [2], and the online manual[3] is
full of hyperlinks which is hopefully a help especially for new
users.  Many improvements are still possible, but in the example
section[4] you should find anything you need; ring through if not,
please.  It is likely that you find interactive usage too
restricted for your daily work, but we'll surely get better as
time goes by.

It seems to me it must be very large and fully interweaved; yes.

Oh yes, flashing advertises improve the simplemost text pages
a lot; i hope the future brain implant doesn't stutter the same
way that my graphical browser does today when i open such a page.
E.g., i hope the route to googleads never hangs when i really need
to go to toilet and the implant wants to provide some
context-sensitive advertising first...  Kind of cali fornication,
if you trust Kundera, at least.
