Well, it's text-based menu driven, e.g., you use the cursor keys or VI command keys (hjkl), messages can be displayed in threads, etc. Not mouse oriented, but still not _that_ primitive. > ...I think only a DIE hard techie would opt > for such a thing!

It's probably not something many people would pick up today, but it's got real advantages if you need them. It's incredibly flexible, especially for handling huge numbers of messages. It's almost impossible to inadvertently open a bad URL, since they're displayed for you in text mode; but you can view HTML mail if you wish.
