Arguably Pegasus is the better mail reader. Although I use tb for 
news (purely because it runs on XP and *nix), I've never felt the 
urge to switch mail client from pegasus to tb - even though peg won't 
run on *nix (even under wine). Lack of a good cross-platform mail 
client is a principal reason I've not switched to linux from XP.

I do find it a shame that the pegasus author won't release the code.
