Best E-mail Client

The thought that 5% of our readers are like Kyle Rankin and prefer their e-mail in a terminal window is both scary and fascinating. For most of us, GUI e-mail is where it's at, and Thunderbird grabbed almost half the votes as Best E-mail Client. Granted, the Web-based Gmail came in with 29% of the vote, but it's impressive to see how many people still prefer an actual e-mail program versus a Web site.
