I would love a new email client, I've tried them all, and hated every one of them. But text mode? (or am I misunderstanding? guess I should just get it and take a look LOL)

I'ven't a clue! Assuming the worst, though, aerc supports extension of functionality via pipes and other terminal programs; it shouldn't take much, I'd think.

They say it is an ECS model, but I am pretty sure that it is not an ECS model? If it was an ECS model, that seems like it would be way overkill for something like this. I'm looking forward to it...
