Hi to all,
I got 16 responses to this, of which 4 were ME-TOO's. 1 had two preferences.
I clock it at:-
7 - Z-Mail from NCD.COM
4 - EXMH (X front end to MH)
1 - PINE
1 - Gnu Emacs & Lisp Extensions.
We are just about to test-drive EXMH, as our postmaster has built MH & XMH
and is using that already as his preference.
We have also built procmail which isn't MIME but is really good
to have to sort all the "BULK" and work-related stuff and things
like mail from backup-scripts into piles for future reference, so they
don't clog up your mail-box.

The responses I got:-
Bob Halloran:
Try Z-Mail; costs money but worth it IMHNSO.
Trial copies by anon-FTP from ftp.z-code.com:/pub/zmail, and mail to
keys@z-code.com for a 30-day license.
Dave Fetrow:
pine (ftp.cac.washington.edu) has partial X support; e.g. it will fire
up "xv" or whatever as a viewer on an X screen.
Gregory Bond:
I use exmh, a front end to MH written in tcl, from parcftp.xerox.com.
Nice, but a bit slow.
Mark McIntosh:
Commercial? Try ZMail by the ZCode divsion of NCD.
Free? I don't know of any as complete as ZMail. GNU Emacs 19 has
some support for it if you put together the right Emacs Lisp extension
packages.
Steve Erhart:-
If you don't mind paying for a commercial package, try Zmail.
Anthony Baxter:-
parcftp.xerox.com:/pub/exmh
latest version 1.5omega, latest 'production' version 1.4
I use 1.5omega all the time, works fine.
Joseph F.Backo:
I'm writing this to you on one - Z-Mail. It is an excellent mail
package - fully Motif compliant and MIME compliant. You can grab the
real package at ftp.ncd.com in /pub/z-code/zmail/3.2/zm32sunos4.1.tar.Z.
Z-code will give you a password for 30+ days and you can try it out.
You can get more info by writing to info@z-code.com - this is not a
mail reflector - just tell them what you need and they will get it
done...
BTW - I work for the company...
Steve Warner:-
Try Z-Mail from NCD (the same people who make X-terminals and
X-terminal emulation software). Don't have a number handy but they
advertise widely.
Jhon Honce:-
Exmh is a GUI front-end for MH.
Patrick O'Callaghan:-
Try 'exmh', available from parcftp.xerox.com:/pub/exmh. You'll
need TCL/TK as well.
Andy Kumeda:-
Look at zmail from Z-Code software -- probably the best all-platform
mailer around.
Birger A. Wathne:-
Z-Mail from Z-Code software, part of NCD (The X-terminal vendor).
I'm about to install it.
Contact morten@ncd.se for info in sweden.
Supports POP, UUCP, X.400 and SMTP transport.
Directory services: /etc/passwd, aliases, NIS, X.500, files.
Includes a scripting language for sorting/automation.
X-windows(Motif), MS-windows, ASCII and Mac versions.
Sounds great. We'll see when I have it installed....
