My problem might be trivial, but here it is:
I need to have a good email client for my Linux system. Currently I am using Thunderbird, which is nice but has few fall backs. What do I want from the client?
1. I want to write messages with courier font without automatic line wrapping. I do not want to send HTML format since many receivers are very anal with this and will complain.
2. When replying to other peoples messages, I want to quote their text below my answer. I do not want the client to add line breaks to the previous texts.
3. I want to be able to add comments between quotes. Quote prefix system should not mess things up.
4. I need solid LDAP support. When I write first/last name to the To: field, I want the client to suggest me all the matching names.
5. Standard mail format. I am in corporate environment. 90% use Outlook, 7% use Thunderbird/Mozilla, few Syplheeds, few Pines, few some other pre-1980 email readers
6. If needed, I want to be able to add bold, italic, coloring, pictures etc. into my message. I guess this is some sort of rich text format?
MS Outlook has been the best so far. But I need to use my Linux box! So what should I do? I've tried few email clients, and all of them have something nice. But always something else is missing, and that something else is usually what I end up needing. Thunderbird is fast and LDAP seems to "work" OK'ish but it tends to screw with line wrapping. Also the options with it are to send HTML or wrapped plain text format. And neither one of them usually end up what I was hoping for.
So any suggestions? If someone know neat tricks how to configure Thunderbird, that would be nice too. Note that I have spent numerous hours clicking different options and check boxes
