I am growing less and less sympathetic to those who still insist on using
ucb-Mail *and* complain about it.  There are far too many "better" mailers
out there that do things right that I feel that those who use Mail "get what
they deserve."  The world is full of different mailers that appeal to any kind
of interface you like -- there is MH, gnuemacs, Elm and of course my personal
favorite is Mush.  If you say, "but I like the Mail interface best" then use
Mush -- it can be made to look exactly like Mail, but doesn't have all the
bugs :-)
