Just out of interest, I ran a script over the last 6 month's worth of 
messages to see what people are using to send to this particular list:

365    Apple Mail
  67    Entourage
   6    MacSOUP
  80    Mutt
  25    Mailsmith
   6    Mulberry
   1    Snappermail
   1    Microsoft Outlook
191    others/not known

Apple Mail is popular even on this command-line-oriented list - but 
perhaps that's questions rather than answers! :-)
