Damn. Apparently I'm not in Gnome's target audience even though I've been using it since 1999. Pray tell, Whiprush, what is Gnome's target audience?

I absolutely loathe Evolution's editor. It almost always reformats the mail so what you think you're sending is not at all what actually gets sent. You can't use it for more than a day without running into multiple quotation or copy/paste bugs. But, despite Whiprush's suggestion, I'm not ready to dump the Gnome desktop quite yet.

GNOME and the way forward

Indeed, after working my way through all the gui mail clients out there I returned to Pine, which has by far the best user interface. For a start you can get going knowing nothing about mail systems. It can use an external editor, and it takes minimal system resources.

(I'd use mutt more, but the interface on mutt is far less 'friendly')

I wonder when gui mail apps will approach the simplicity and ease of use of pine.
