I use it all the time too since it?s very handy for system administration duties. It?s
quick to load a mailbox to see if something is in it, and it?s handy on the command line
to fire off test messages. Plus I have lots of scripts that use it. But I definitely don?t
use it as my regular mail program anymore.

I was using it yesterday. Because it is so basic, Mail is just the thing for
firing one-liners at mailing list managers and the like, without risk of it
"helpfully" sending me a copy of the outgoing message as is the habit of other
MUAs.
I'm not sure I can remember how to *read* mail with it though.
