Quoted replies and integrated MIME support would be nice as well. :-)

I don't use VMS mail all that much these days but when I do receive
an email on a VMS system, it immediately becomes very clear just how
primitive VMS mail actually is.

Following on from a suggestion in another response, I wonder if VSI
would be interested in shipping Pine (or whatever it is called these
days) as a standard part of VMS.

Simon.
