Elm

elm was initially developed to provide a full-screen mail program when only simple line-based ones were available. Since then it has grown and become established among the Unix community. Unlike mail which works mostly with one line at a time, elm takes advantage of the entire terminal screen for listing mail received and editing messages.

Start using elm with the command:

   elm

Pine takes much the same approach as elm and is more sophisticated.
