My biggest gripes with xfmail were speed (it's laboriously slow), lack 
of a decent inbuilt editor (exmh's isn't much better actually), poor
-ish MIME support, and the fact that it used to explode occasionally. 

Aside from that, it's a very powerful tool.  I particularly liked the 
inbuilt filtering rules.
