This was typed in Celeste, which has been my only email client since
late 2004. I have a bunch of fixed which I haven't shared since they are
some of the worst code ever written because crashes always happen when I
am in a hurry to reply to an email. There are lots of low hanging fruit
to make less unreasonable, but a new client might be a better option.

Most people I know currently use web based mail services. I have
experience with two (Zimbra and SmartMail) and prefer Celeste.
