I'd recommend Eudora.  It's not perfect, but it's a lot better than Netscape
Mail, IMHO.  Eudora Light is available for free from the Qualcomm web site
(I don't remember the URL, but it's probably either www.qualcomm.com or
www.eudora.com).  There's also Eudora Pro, which you have to pay for, but
the Light version is more than adequate for my modest needs.

The human mind is inherently fallible.  It sees patterns where there is only
random clustering, overestimates and underestimates odds depending on
emotional need, ignores obvious facts that contradict already established
conclusions.  Hopes and fears become detailed memories.  And absolutely
correct conclusions are drawn from completely inadequate evidence.
