Hi Sepp, I am working on something called 'astroid' which is a GTK+ and WebKit based email client for notmuch. - It can show html parts inline if you choose to. - It shows previews of image attachments. - It uses vim (embedded) as editor. - It is entirely navigated using the keyboard (based on vim) - It is fairly fast (but requires optimization of some parts) (probably disputed). It is, however, very pre-alpha-beta. If you are brave enough, please feel free to try it out: https://github.com/gauteh/astroid There are some screenshots here: http://gaute.vetsj.com/arkiv/astroid/screenshots/ You can press '?' to get a brief overview of the keybindings (they are based on those of sup [0]). But I haven't completed the help stuff yet, in that case refer to the source code (did I mention it was pre-alpha?). Not all features are ready (notably encryption), but it is complete enough for daily usage - at least for me. I was planning to make it a little bit more user friendly to try out and use before I announced it, but I think it fits your description (it was at least what I was attempting to solve when I started it). The README.md [1] covers basic compilation and setup steps, and I tried to collect what is required for setting astroid up on a fresh Ubuntu in the wiki [2].
