perhaps you should try switching to testing? It ireally is not as
unstable as you think. you see, "stable" has to be just that, and
debian cant compromise that to suit one user. However, it is very easy
for that user to switch to a more aggressively updated version of
debian.

you might check out Ish, a GPL'ed work in progress implementation of
ssh2 (in testing).

it is not free software. the guys who made it for whatever reason
decided they would release it under a restrictive license which didnt
meet the debian definition of free. perhaps you should try elm, spruce,
mutt, or balsa, which are all free.
good luck, and dont get discouraged!
