Almost related, I've been reading my mail with thunderbird for the last 
couple of months.  I was using evolution and before that, pine.  I like 
thunderbird.  Also means that I can have nearly the same mail app on 
those rare occasions that I boot windows.  Suggest $excolleague tries 
it, it puts little coloured bars around the quoted bits.
