Agreed, mutt is pretty good, as we ll as (Al)pine.

I mostly use mutt for a quick browse of my emails, but generally use
GNUS in Emacs for most email correspondence. GNUS also has NNTP
support, which I use in conjunction with Leafnode[0]. Sadly, Leafnode
seems to be rather stagnated right now, although I hear they're
working on Leafnode v2... ah well. GMANE works well enough directly
:-)
