For those of you who aren't allergic to Emacs, 'VM' mode is actually
quite nice.  A friend of mine (Hi Jaye!) recommended it to me a long
time ago while I was using a non-supported MUA, and finally I switched
over.  It supports threading and all sorts of neat features which would
allow you to 'kill' entire threads based on their subjects.  I use it
inside XEmacs on both my FreeBSD box and my Sparc at work.

Check it out!
