For the record, I’d recommend Mailsmith also:
TidBITS: True Confessions of a Mailsmith Switcher
Conclusions — Despite such nitpicking, this version of Mailsmith puts the program in a whole new category. Mailsmith 1.5 was usable but flawed; it had a coterie of devoted followers, but they seemed mostly to be fanatics. Mailsmith 2.0, on the other hand, is simply a great program, and deserves wide and serious consideration. It has been worth the wait. If you’ve wondered what the fuss is about, now is the right time to give Mailsmith a second look – or a first look.
Check out Mailsmith if you’re looking for a good mail client right now… or wait for the Panther upgrade for an even better Mail. I’d recommend Mailsmith to anyone that doesn’t need IMAP support and wants a fast, fully scriptable mail client that doesn’t suffer from “HTML Rendering slowdown” every once and a while.

I can’t imagine forking over money for a mail client in the year 2003 that doesn’t support HTML messages.
HTML messages are ubiquitous now. Without being able to natively read HTML mail you are missing out. Maybe **some people** can express themselves with _ascii_ but most people in the real world like to have the option of rich text formatting.
The sad thing is, practically every human being on this planet has a hotmail address they use at some point, be it for spam protecion, anonymity or for their i_use_extra_small_condoms.com account – this limits your choices to using a mail app that supports Hotmail OR using one mail app and then signing into the hotmail page – no thanks.
There’sa plug-in for Mail.app to enable Hotmail functionality, and I use Entourage with it’s built-in Hotmail support.. but it feels chunky.
What car rental company did you use in St. Martin?? Thanks. Chad
