Going GUI...er

I used sylpheed and claws-mail until recently when I switched to mutt. What annoyed me most is that claws mail crashed occasionally and messed up configuration and folder settings after the crash. For html mails which don't render readable in text I have a binding to open them in an already running firefox instance. This sucks only a little. Certainly less than claws-mail's performance and stability
