        Mahogany looks really cool in the screenshots I've seen; but the
version I DL'd had some real problems. the configuration menus were broken
in many cases (words running out of their box; so you couldn't read the
explanations of what it was you were configuring); and the config tool
crashed frequently. In fact, I think I sent one (badly configured) message
with it; and gave up.
        it supposedly has a newsreader included as well; but I couldn't find
any mention of that functionality in the actual program.

it does have a pretty interface, tho; and the Python scripting would be very
cool.

I think I'll stick with mutt for the moment.
