If your used to the sort of format the good old DOS FrontDoor SysOp's Mail
Reader gives you, quite graphical and colorful, go for a program called
Mutt. I recommend you get the US only version and export it out from the
USA, people have already done it, so don't endanger your rights! :) -- get
the USA version off a non-USA website. It contains PGP support and stuff
like that.

Also, for X I'd recommend Netscape Mail, XFMail or Exmh. 

Cheers,
Michael

 Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies
 the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry
 penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more
 careful about what they say if they had.
