MailSmith <http://www.barebones.com/products/mailsmith/index.shtml> from Bare Bones Software (of BBEdit fame) is very nice or even try Apple Mail if your needs are relatively modest. Frankly 99% of the time I don't want HTML mail or send attachments so I actually use MacSOUP <http://home.snafu.de/stk/macsoup/index.html> which has wonderfully intuitive references based threading with a graphical representation of the thread at the top of the message window. This makes following conversations in mailing lists very simple and easy. MacSOUP does have a rather spartan interface, but you'll grow to appreciate it's simplicity and intuitive, uncluttered interface. I do keep a copy of MailSmith around for when I want to send attachments. If I absolutely need to view HTML email (urrgh!) using MacSOUP I simply save the email and add .html to the end of the name. Then I open it in Safari. Or if I receive an attachment again, I save the email and then drag it onto Stuffit Expander to extract the attachment. Again - simple and only a couple extra and very simple steps. Thus I work around the two disadvantages of MacSOUP and get to enjoy all it's wonderful advantages - threading, interface, powerful killfile and filtering. Plus lets not forget MacSOUP is also a top class USENET client, so if you haven't tried MacSOUP as a newsreader run, don't walk to the above web site and grab a copy to try out! It's the best newsreader for the Mac IMHO, and versions are available for System 7 through to 10.3.5. There's more info about it and other Mac email clients at the Mac Orchard <http://www.macorchard.com/>.
