The best? Not sure.
Bad, usually: Outlook and Gmail. Both have, umm, "interesting" ideas
about topic threading and about applying "styled" (bastardized-html)
formatting to message bodies, the former is trouble for any mailing list
if you want topics nicely threaded, and the latter a problem for this
list which depend on plain text and in particular Python code where
consistent indentation is part of the language syntax. It's an uphill
battle when those two together make up a vast amount of the current
email world....
