While it's overkill for most non-sysops, for a while I ran mail only and
used my mailer, Squish, and Msged as a point-like system. I got a stable
message area format with lots of utilities and Msged, which I liked a
lot, for reading messages - had the whole message area to search.

I've thought about doing that again, but MultiMail seems to work pretty
well for me, now that I've found a decent console Win32 editor (TSE Pro)
