To add to the list:
I have a 56k modem and the speed is great. I could use whatever mailer I
wanted with no trouble, but in order to read my mail with the same folders
(and keep all these friendly discussions on the SHADOWRN list in their
place) I choose to sort them into folders with pine (I love procmail, but
that's a different story). Now once they go into the folders, they are
gone, and I can't download them with anything but PCPINE, which of course
doesn't support HTML. Of course, this is no trouble for me because I like
using cheesy-cool emoticons ;-)
