I don't use FVWM, but I agree it would be the best to throw in as a default.

Exmh is a bit tricky for the newby, especially if you want to sort mail in
folders. Most installers will not know what procmail is. XFMail or TkRat are
better as they support IMAP, POP3 and unix style mail boxes.
If this project goes further I would like to be involved as I have been
thinking about his for months.
