I still use Pine for reading mail, but I've started using fetchmail as my
pop client as that hands the mail directly to sendmail rather than
downloading to a spool. This makes procmail easier to use.

What features are you looking for? I use slrn for news. It's not an X
program, but it runs very nicely in an rxvt. I run it with the command:
rxvt +sb -T slrn -bg white -fn 10x20 -geometry 80x30 -e slrn -C
