Claws does take some getting used to. Most routine functions can be |
| 23 |
keyboard-driven (read and fetch mail, go to next folder etc). I do find |
| 24 |
the dialogs to set up filters are "verbose" and not what I'm used to |
| 25 |
with gui apps - they work, there's is no oddities to what the filters |
| 26 |
will do, but the way to get there has never felt exactly right. |

Mutt, pine and friends? Great for reading mailing lists, especially |
| 34 |
those that frown on html mail. |

|

And there's always gmail if you are happy for Google to read what you |
| 37 |
read. |
