Thanks to the both of you for the response.  Yes, it appears that the
combination of xboard and cmail is the solution which I hoped to find.

While trying to get xboard launched with a reasonable board size (the
default was much too big for my screen), I noticed cmail in the xboard
documentation, but I didn't investigate, because I am using mutt.  But
now I'll read over the xboard documentation carefully and give cmail a
try.
