If you want a GUI MUA that incorporates anti-spam features, I highly recommend Eudora 6. It also has a built-in spelling checker (or uses the spelling check service provided by the OS), and many other positive features. Eudora works well as either an IMAP or POP3 client. On the CLI side, you can use SpamAssassin with procmail, and mutt will work well (although pine would probably also work). If you're doing anything related to PGP, I think mutt would be a better choice, since it was designed (by Mike Elkins, the author of the PGP/MIME RFC) to integrate those kinds of features from Day One. Mutt has always worked well as a POP3 client, but used to have poor support for IMAP. I don't know if that has since changed. -- Brad Knowles, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
