Email client



 Every once in a while I look around for a new email client. 
I currently use claws-mail with is very good. My email format is a 
hierarchical directory of MH folders. This means that each folder is a 
Linux directory, and each message is a single file.   

That said, the only issues I have with claws are: 
1. It does not support the sending of html emails. It will only send 
plain text. For the most part this is good, but there are some times 
where I want to send a more formatted email. 

2. Search for a folder name. There are very good search methods in 
claws including a perl plugin, but there is no way I can search for a 
folder name (similar to searching Firefox bookmarks). 

In the past I have looked at Evolution, but converting to Evolution was 
a big deal because I would have had to import each folder explicitly. I 
also use procmail for filtering before the email gets into claws.
