I suggest xbuffy or gbuffy. I can easily fit 3 mailboxes into a 64x64 pixel
space on my panel, and right clicking shows me the author and subject of all
new messages in a box, and middle clicking brings up a new mutt if I need to
read one of those messages.

I've never considered this before, but is that really impossible with curses?

What's so hard about tagging?
I often wonder if this random sigger is really random...
