    As others have said:  slrn.  Pick whatever editor you like (vim
here).  Been using this combination for decades.

    For text-based, there's also tin, trn, etc.  For those
recommending gnus, if you're already in the emacs universe, seems like
a natural choice.  

    The famous joke:  Emacs is a great operating system.  If only it
came with a good text editor too ;)
