any other accessible email client for linux?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Alpine has an export message function.  That message is saved to a file of
your choice.  You can then background alpine and open that file say with
url-view and get to urls without screenfull restrictions.  Also use
probably in mate atrl to read that exported file for any other needs.
