Ooh! Command-line email clients wars! Almost as good as emacs vs.
vi.

Besides the suggested answers, the one that I always liked was
mh (which has now become nmh, and there is a package for it in at
least Debian, and Ubuntu). The nice thing about nmh is that it is
not a single client that requires you to enter a separate interface,
but a collection of programs that lets you work with mail in
between other command-line work. Not sure if mutt, or the other
alternatives do that.

The only reason that they pried nmh out of my cold, (not-yet) dead
fingers was the increasing prevalence of attachments in mail, and
some setup issues.

Gora
