Pine, Eudora, Mush,… new fangled silliness, I say! :-) In my day, if we
weren’t using mail/mailx, we used MH or elm (no, not Rmail you Emacs
freaks). You know, there’s one GUI mail app from the 90s that was really
sweet and arguably ahead of it’s time. It was called Zmail (I think it was
bought and killed by NCD). Had a lot of neat features (if you can stand the
Motif widgetry).

Back in the day, I used MH, writing in Emacs, then cut/paste to MH and send.
It produced very clean text. Back before I switched to FreeBSD, and was
stuck in M$uck Windows 3 before Wsuck had internet capability, UCB had a
package that encluded Eudora.
Before that I was using an TI 6000 with thermo print terminal on ARPNET
where I kept a log of @ addresses to get to MIT and play some game... The
wife got pissed I was fucking around in the basement... More nostalgia from
the 70s...
