 Sorting, searching, marking, and displaying??”Again, if you are managing lots of
e-mail messages at once (some people manage thousands of messages), the capability to
refer back to the one you want can be critical. Some clients let you sort by date, sender,
priority, subject, and other items. You might be able to search message contents for text
or choose how to display the messages (such as without showing attachments or with
source code shown).
 Mail composition tools??”Some mail composers let you include HTML in your messages,
which enables you to add images, links, tables, colors, font changes, and other visual
enhancements to your messages. One warning: Some mailing lists don??™t like you to send
messages in HTML because some people still use plain-text readers that aren??™t HTML-aware.
 Multiple accounts??”Many e-mail clients enable you to configure multiple e-mail
accounts to be served by your e-mail reader. Early plain-text e-mail clients pointed to
only one mailbox at a time.
 Performance??”Some lightweight graphical e-mail clients give you much better performance
than others. In particular, the Sylpheed e-mail client (which comes with Damn Small
Linux) was created to use a minimal amount of memory and processing power, yet still
provide a graphical interface.
