[NTLUG:Discuss] Email client capabilities

[Leroy Tennison]

I'm not trying to start an argument but I would like to know if there is 
a good comparison of GUI email clients.  I used to use Evolution until 
it wouldn't work with my ISP for some reason.  At that point I switched 
to Thunderbird and had been very happy with it up until now.  I don't 
normally use HTML for email but I am doing so with someone I trust in 
order to have the text emphasis (font colors, etc.).  What I'm seeing 
(that I don't like) is that, when you reply in Thunderbird it shows the 
original message as text even if it was HTML and you have set 
Thunderbird to compose in HTML.  I can't seem to find a way to change 
this behavior which is why I'm looking around (if someone can tell me 
how to fix that I'd just as soon stick with Thunderbird).
