A few small but useful open source sofware projects:

Mutt - a great command line email client. Supports PGP.
Anti-Word - this is one of the most useful scripts. It allows a user from a command line email client to view Micro$oft .doc files. Here's how it works for me (I use Mutt): Firstly, in your .muttrc file add two lines:
```
set mailcap_path="~/.mutt_mailcap"
set mailcap_sanitize=yes
```
Secondly, create a file .mutt_mailcap in your home directory and add the following line:
```
application/msword; antiword %s ; copiousoutput
```
Make sure that antiword is somewhere in your path. That's it. Now you can view every .doc attachment right in your mutt window! BTW, you can add more stuff in your .mutt_mailcap file:
```
text/html; links -dump %s ; copiousoutput
application/pdf;acroread %s ;
application/x-dvi;xdvi %s ;
application/postscript;gv %s ;
image/jpg;qiv %s ;
```
and so on. If you use Pine, read Pine documentation on how to do the same with Pine (but remember: Pine is not open source software).
Nano - a great little text editor (command line), which started as a Pico replacement.
