Giggle - I'm using Trn version: 4.0-test76 (Apr 2, 2001).
and Mail User's Shell (7.2.6 beta(5) 10/07/98)

myself.

I use trn because it does what I want it to - message selection files (aka
KILL files) with regular expressions that I can use to select messages that
I do or do not want to see, ascii only interface (so I can use it via
telnet sessions), relatively fast (except for some of my stupider 
kill files...), only crashes once every 6 months or so...
