Which mail-clients allow one to NOT interpret and show html-mail? The latest Mozilla has an option, and text-only mailers would of course not interpret html (or...?)
Power email users who are comfortable using the keyboard should try mutt. In addition to the typical mailer functions, it allows you to define keyboard shortcuts to call any of mutts many built-in functions, or call an external program or script.
You can define the colors used for different message parts, even on a per-folder basis. You can have one folder sort messages newest at the top, and only show the sender and subject, while another folder sorts threaded with the oldest at the top, then sorted by subject, and display the sender, subject, and date in the message list. Mutt is so configurable that you almost have to use someone else's ~/.muttrc just to get started. The array of choices is daunting, but it means that you can have your mail client support the way you like to work instead of the other way around.
I used pine for years, sometimes using Netscape just to see if the GUI was really faster or easier; it's not. Not if you can type. I always ended up going back to pine. Pine is pretty flexible and the menu system it uses makes it easy to get started. But after hearing mutt users rant and rave for years, I finally gave in and tried it out.
Now I know why they rant and rave.
If you need a high-volume, high-powered mail client, and you're comfortable using the keyboard, you really need to try mutt.
