Thanks to everyone for their suggestions on mail utilities. I guess
I should have asked about utilities that allow me to read, edit and
reply to messages in a "windowing" environment. MetaCard has
spoiled me; text based mail, or even Emacs just won't do.

What I'm really interested in would be a non-proprietary utility
that would run consistently over a range of Unix hardware. I
like Sun's mailtool, but often find myself working on Silicon
Graphics or IBM workstations.

It looks like ELM, mailx, cmm, or pine might fit my needs, so I'll
try to dig up more information on those packages. I'd still like
to see the development a MetaCard based mail interface, but the
project is well beyond the scope of my meager Unix abilities.
