It's a TUI, right?  I kinda like to compose a message, stop on it, keep
it open, visible, get back to the the inbox, search some stuff, open
other messages, perhaps compose new (quick) messages, send them out,
look at my previous message being composed and continue with writing
it...

So a TUI usually means I must draft the on-going message, get it out of
the way so I can continue the use the application.  For that reason
alone, I think I need a GUI one.

I used to love slrn for the USENET, for example.  I had not discovered
Gnus back then yet, so I would draft one article, look at another, draft
the new one, edit the previous... I did a lot of that at times.  It's
definitely okay, but with Gnus around...

But I'm glad to know that Alpine has been going great.
