Probably the one thing that sways my opinion about a client is how good
or bad it quotes.  The top things that spring to mind being:

I like being able to highlight something, and reply to that message, and
only what was highlighted gets quoted.

I like clients that quote verbatim, until I re-arrange paragraphs.

I like editors that work like word processors.  They wrap as I type, in
the manner that the post will be sent, and they don't need line ends
manually fixing up if I edit in the middle of a paragraph.

It goes without saying that it should do proper threading and have
sensible keyboard navigation.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
