All GUI MUAs suck. It's canonical. mutt's the one MUA
that sucks least, and that's not just a motto.
Running mutt server-side and having the following .bashrc
function
mutt () {
if ps x | grep [m]utt; then
echo "You already have a mutt running - reattaching"
screen -U -d -r mutt
return 1;
fi
screen -U -S mutt mutt -f mbox
}
makes things even better. Instead of spawning content viewers,
I just bounce things to my gmail account, which lives in the #1 tab
on Safari or Firefox, depending on where I am.

hardware acceleration, rdesktop, VMWare server (free as in beer)
