I wonder what you're missing in knews?  If it's something reasonable
(and you are sure to run a recent version), i'm sure the author would
like to hear about it.

I can't comment on xfmail.  It was known to often dump core and send
half-composed message out, but this might have been fixed meanwhile.
I know that various people praise xmh/mh, but can't tell you anything
about it either since i'm still an elm user.
