It doesn't get any more modern than Gnus+TM on XEmacs (IMNSHO).



I would add to the list:

Decoding MIME attachments to files should work the same as uudecoding
works.  In other words, if you tick a number of messages, some of
which are uuencoded and some of which are MIME encoded, and pick one
of the batch uudecode functions, all messages should have their
contents extracted to files.


I'd like to see a similar level of Mule support as is currently
implemented in tm.
