What HTML Editor programs do you use?

Because I prefer mutt and tin.

Well, I prefer mutt and slrn. I use Vim with Mutt, and Vim with slrn.
Still, both allow you to set any editor you want. I once had a little
script that ran gvim if there was X available, and vim if there
wasn't, but it was annoying to have an extra window pop up when
keeping everything in one terminal was sufficient.
I know of no better email reader than mutt, or I'd use it. Once or
twice a year I get the notion to try other email readers, but I've
yet to find one that I prefer over mutt.

Same here.
As for tin, well... I get along with it. I'm nowhere near as happy
with it as I am with mutt for email, but I've yet to find something
I like better. I might spend some time customizing gnus to see if I
can find a way to like it better. Then again, I might not. :)

Give slrn a go.

Yes, I used to use Mutt. It is lovely. I now use Evolution though, simply
because Mutt lacks vFolders. :-(

I hear the latest Thunderbird supports vFolders though, so it might be
time to give that a try. Opera's M2 also has a concept similar to
vFolders, but I've never really liked its IMAP support.

I used to use HTML Pro, but lost it when my laptop bit the dust.

I was using gnu emacs for a long time, but now I am moving to gvim.

If its a simple update, I sometimes use Composer that ships with Mozilla.

Hmmm... I'm not entirely familiar with "vFolders", but if it's what I'm
thinking it is, it'd be easy enough to implement a similar thing. Could
be I'm way out in left field, though. The last time I tried Evolution
was a year or more ago. At that time, it didn't support Maildir, so I
gave it a fair shake then elected to go back to mutt.

I prefer the Maildir storage format for a lot of reasons, and have
become essentially married to it at this late date. I save everything
that I send and receive in Maildirs named for the other party's email
address, and can search through the whole shebang with mairix, which
populates what its man page calls a "virtual folder" with symlinks to
the actual messages. I have a nightly cron job keep the mairix database
updated.

I gotta say, no matter how one goes about it, having a complete and
easily searched email archive can be a real life saver. The way I
resolve disputes is usually to eat the charges if I can't prove I'm
right... so mairix has saved me/made me quite a few bucks. When a
clients says, "This isn't what I asked for!", I get to say, "Here's what
you asked for... and I believe it's what you got. Be that as it may, if
you want it this other way, I'd be glad to provide the rework for you at
my customary rate."

Back when I used to sort received mail during delivery, I used either
procmail (which sucks) or maildrop (which sucks less) to handle the
sorting. I've been considering going back to that, because I've got a
few mailing list subscriptions that are very effective time wasters...
but so far, I've resisted the urge to become more disciplined.

Hey, if I have time for Usenet, I have time for mailing lists, right? :D

I've just started using Thunderbird, and I'm very impressed with it so
far. It does seem to have a very MS OE sort of appearance, but without
any of the annoyances :D

I was using Evolution on my Linux box, until that died, but after using
Thunderbird in Windows (and saving all my mailboxes to a USB stick so I
can use the same boxes on different machines) I have decided that I'll
probably use Thunderbird on my Linux box when I get it fixed.

I also tried M2, but didn't like it much due to the way that everything
is a filter. I wanted folders that mail could physically be moved in to,
not just appear to be in but still be in the global inbox :(
