If you're not afraid of alpha software (but works very well generally) and
are willing to cope with some core dumps, try Mutt[1]. A new mailer,
written by Michael Elkins, fast, small, loaded with features from Elm, Mush
and PINE. It supports MIME, PGP/MIME and mail threading (invaluable for
mailing lists !). You can find pointers to the sources and patches at my
home page[2].

When I first got a look at 0.37 (now at 0.45), I found it so good (even
with the bugs) that I instantly switched after 8 years of heavy use of
Elm. You'll find an ELm - Mutt comparison at Sven Guckes' site[3]

It is too moving a target to create a port now (a version each week).
