TkRat (also known as Ratatosk), a GUI MUA, is now available in the
outland locker for the Linux, NetBSD, Solaris, and SGI platforms.  Its
main features are: ease of use and customization; and seamless
integration of MH, standard Unix mail spool, IMAP, POP3, and other
mailbox formats.

To run:
  add outland
  tkrat &

This will create a .ratatosk directory in your home directory. 
Documentation (in English, French, Italian, and Swedish) is in the form
of an online help system; there is also a web page at
http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~maf/ratatosk/ .

In case you're wondering:
Ratatosk (swift-tusked). In Norse mythology, the squirrel that runs 
up and down the cosmic or world tree, Yggdrasil, carrying abusive
language from the dragon Nidhog at the bottom of the tree to the eagle
at the top, and vice versa.
