MH-E

http://mh-e.sourceforge.net/
Emacs interface to the MH mail system

MH-E offers the functionality of MH, the visual orientation and simplicity of use of a GUI, and full integration with Emacs and XEmacs, including thorough configuration and online help. MH-E lets users read and process mail very quickly: many commands are single characters; completion and smart defaults are used for folder names and aliases. With MH-E you compose outgoing messages in Emacs. This is a big plus for Emacs users, but even non-Emacs users have been known to use MH-E after only learning the most basic cursor motion commands. Additional features include:

• attractive text rendering with font lock
• composition and display of MIME body parts
• display of images and HTML within the Emacs frame
• folder browsing with speedbar
• threading
• ticking messages
• lightning-fast full-text indexed searches of all of your email
• virtual folders to view ticked and unseen messages, search results
• multiple personalities
• signing and encrypting
• spam filter interaction
• XFace, Face, X-Image-URL header field support with picons

MH is Rand's Mail Handler, whose functionality is available in nmh and GNU mailutils.
