I'll put in a plug for Pine. In addition to doing a reasonable job of rendering HTML into plain text (plus being able to fire up links/lynx for you if you want to follow a link), it also will work with an IMAP server (and you won't notice _much_ difference than running it on local mailboxes). Plus there's a native Windows port should you need that.
The configuration can sometimes be daunting when searching for a particular feature you know "must be in there somewhere", but overall it isn't bad (can use the built-in config editor, or just edit the .pinerc file). If you want to know more, you can email me at "vicky at steeds dot com".
