Ive looked at postilion, spruce, blasa.... each with its advantages and dis-advantages, spruce the nicest interface lacks marking unread messages, and bogs my system terribly, when retrieving mail. Balsa, also a decent interface but refuses to wrap aty 80 characters, though it does show me unread messages, postilion, well, a bit difficult to understand, i couldnt even figure out how to setup my pop3 info to retrieve my mail. id say if balsa and spruce got together it would be killer, also looked at ishmail but could not get it to build, under FreeBSD, suggestions welcome... I am using TkRat. It is in the port. It support Pop and Imap and wrap lines automatically. It is not perfect but this is my favorite so far. And if you have any troubles, I can help you. Phil.
