I don't like HTML mail, so I don't miss it, but KMail _is_ still awful about
that.

Personally I find KMail with bogofilter superior to Thunderbird.

As do kmail & knode.

???  It's a _mail_ program.  I don't want it to have a huge variety of
themes - I want it to fit into my KDE desktop, which Thunderbird doesn't
do.  As for plugins, I'd be surprised if it doesn't have more - it can use
any kio slave.
