Astroid is a graphical threads-with-tags mail user agent based on sup and
notmuch. Written in C++ using GTK+, WebKit and gmime.

It is still highly experimental software and, in particular, HTML parts
from untrusted senders should not necessarily be viewed.

Astroid is intended to be fast, simple and navigable by keyboard alone
(mouse support is not really implemented yet). It can show images as
well as HTML parts inline (disabled by default). The mail composer is
using an embedded gvim to edit messages (extending to use another editor
that supports XEmbed is not difficult). Astroid is tab-based with
searches, emails, and composers organized in tabs. A new main window in
the same instance can be opened allowing for several modes or tabs to be
visible at the same time.
