Re: Which mail user agent do you use?
First :
check the User-Agent: or X-Mailer: headers to see what people are
using.

What do you mean by this? Do you mean that it is able to read from
multiple POPS/IMAP servers or that you can edit the headers so that
the message comes from a different name/address?

Ditto.
BTW, Mahogany (on sourceforge) is another mailer out there. It uses
C++ and wxWindows for the GUI. As a result it can look like GTK+,
Motif, or MSW depending on which wxWindows (and os) you are using.
They also embed the python interpreter so you can extend it with
python.
Once I found out about mutt's awesome mailing list handling and the
ability to have multiple "inbox" folders (procmail delivery) I
stopped looking at other mailers. It is also really nice for using
when you don't have an X server or a fast connection to the host you
read mail on.
