We had a GUI developer who worked for us who insisted on using PINE for e-mail. Total character based, white letters on blank screen, fixed font. He loved the simplicity of the interface.

Hello Booth,
Did you ever use Minuet for DOS e-mail?
No, but Minuet is a GUI. The following is right from their own FAQ:
--------------------------------
1.1 What is Minuet?
Minuet stands for Minnesota Internet Users Essential Tool. It is an
integrated
package that includes modules for E-mail (using the POP protocol), Gopher,
telnet, Usenet News and FTP. It provides an easy-to-use, mouse-driven
graphical
user interface via the TurboVision libraries.
--------------------------------
I admittedly confused the issue by my use of the phrase "DOS based" to refer
to a character based interface. There used to be many GUI's running on DOS.
One of them was called "Windows". :)
