I moved to Mutt (www.mutt.org) for mail. Very powerful program with open
source, active development, and active support lists. I wouldn't
go back to Yarn now even if it were open source and ported to Linux.
I'm not sure what you want to do with the old clippings, but you can
read DOS partitions from Linux even without using DOSEMU (which Yarn
will run under).
