After going through 6 different mail clients, I've settled back on The Bat.
None of the others were anywhere near as flexible or as user-friendly. I couldn't right-click to add addresses, or they kept trying to make my mails pretty, or they wouldn't indent HTML mail properly when converting it to plain text, Or they didn't automatically fill in addresses on the To line as I typed. The Bat handles all of this perfectly, as well as allowing me to write email templates as complex as I like, rotate my .sigs with every mail and generally handle things incredibly smoothly.
The only thing it doesn't do is handle web images inline on HTML email. But I can live without that this week.
If anyone has any suggestions for a better email client, I'd be happy to hear them, but it's going to have t be pretty smooth to beat this.

I'm not sure why I would want templates--I don't even use sigs in Eudora, I type them. It also doesn't (what TextPad calls) "constrain the cursor to the text," and that got on my nerves.
