Surely that has to be a bug in something other than spruce.  A
userland program run by an unprivileged user should not freeze the
whole machine?  

As for X email clients, there seem to be several new ones under
development.  Of the stable ones, netscape's doesn't seem too bad: at
least it doesn't chew up the message formatting the way most windows
software do.  I've used it only briefly, though.
