Pine handles MIME digest well IMHO and doesn't require metamail
for it. Alas! it is still not possible to reply to individual article in
digest. Probably, if there were more of them, we could justify the efforts  
to spend some time on it ;-) (I put up the question in version 3.91 -
still no response in 3.93)

It is definitely *not* X-client. Last version 3.93 includes support for
mouse in xterm and ability to switch icon name if new mail arrives.

It is certainly on our list of things to do, but not there yet.
