I like using joe for stuff.  It also comes as jstar which is familiar to me
because it has all the wordstar keybindings.  It also works quite well with
mutt and slrn.  It is apt-gettable, BTW and it has some pretty nice
configuration options which are held in a system jstarrc or joerc file or
customizable within your home directory.
