I can make a strong presonal recommendation for Thunderbird when running 
on Microsoft Windows.  It has all the basic functions of Outlook, and 
most of the more advanced ones as well (at least the ones I use, 
anyway).  It doesn't have auto-forwarding or auto-responses (ie, holiday 
messages), but the 1.1.0 release is slated to include these features, 
and is due out soon.  It can import all your Outlook pst files and your 
Outlook personal address book.  There is also an extension to retrieve 
webmails from Hotmail and Yahoo (which I run successfully).  It also 
runs on Linux, so if you decide to move to Linux on the desktop, you can 
continue to use Thunderbird regardless of the platform you use.  I setup 
a Courier IMAP server to hold my mail (and fetchmail to fetch it from my 
various POP accounts) specifically so that I would no longer be tied to 
any one MUA.  Just about every email client in existance does IMAP, 
though some are better than others.  Thunderbird I have found to be an 
excellent IMAP client, for a start it does offline caching so I can read 
my mail on my laptop when away from home.

Most importantly for this thread, it doesn't have a problem with 
multipart messages.  :-)

Regards,
Christopher
