Yeah, well I just went on Medicare and I agree with him.

Seriously, Claws is an acquired taste: In many ways it doesn't work
like other software. Sometimes its interface *is* surprising. But I've
gotten used to it, and rarely get bollixed up anymore.

Here's the thing: All email clients suck. Outlook's a disease ridden
security flaw. Eudora gratuitously separates attachments
from messages, intermittently. Thunderbird's a pig with three broken
legs that got beaten by a snail in its last race. Mutt's nice, but you
have to remember more keystrokes for mutt than you do for Vim.
Evolution's a way of life, not an email client. Kmail is an OS-busting
atrocity. Last time I looked, Sylpheed and Balsa couldn't correctly do
IMAP, and GNUMail didn't work at all. 

When viewed in this context, Claws-Mail is excellent.
