There is a reply to list extension to thunderbird
http://alumnit.ca/wiki/index.php?page=ReplyToListThunderbirdExtension
personally I use claws-mail though (formerly sylpheed) don't know if it has a
windows version. among other things because it has the delete thread command
which I'm missing from thunderbird.
I also like to process my mail with fetchmail/procmail and store it in a Mail
directory in mh format, something that thunderbird and evolution don't
support, don't know about kmail (I don't use kde apps, they spawn too many
daemons. Try to avoid gnome apps as well, but they still spawn a LOT less
daemons. They are quite large in terms of memory though)
sylpheed is gtk, although still heavy (used to use mutt but it doesn't support
hebrew mails, at least not properly)
