 I think mutt meets your requirements, does it not?

Do you want an MUA that's all WIMPy and GUI or would a
command-line/terminal MUA, like mutt, do?  http://www.mutt.org/

Cheers, Ralph.

Ralph (and others) Thanks for suggesting mutt.  I am very happy with CLI
and used to get on well with pine, so mutt being another branch off the
old elm tree is likely to suit me.   pdftk is also good to know about. 
Best wishes, John

[Dorset] Mail user agent, recommendation?

2012-03-06 Thread John Palmer
Can anyone recommend a MUA for Linux which (preferably) uses mbox files
and (most important) will ask the user for confirmation before sending
any message ?   Currently on Evolution, but think it could do better.
