Sylpheed's pretty good, but I disable html because it's a waste of space and is against all RFC internet standards. Just because Microsoft lets you do it doesn't mean it's right.
Please carefully re-read RFC2822, RFC2045, RFC2046 and RFC2049 before posting such predications. MIME encapsulated HTML mails are part of the standard. However that doesn't mean one should use them on mailing lists. They are quite handy for birthday greeting cards and so on... ;-)
In the past, HTML have been used to insert viruses and attack PCs.
