mblaze and Pagkugi

A suite of small Unix utilities for interacting with Maildir, not a single application.

At a glance

Direct Maildir operation with scanning, MIME rendering, composing, flags, folders, sequences, threading, and attachments that compose through pipes.

Where Pagkugi differs. A close comparison for Pagkugi's Unix composition and Maildir transparency, but it is a command-line toolkit rather than an integrated graphical client.
