I seriously doubt that there are a lot GUI or TUI MUAs available for
BSD or Linux that do that by default. Just mentioning one, Thunderbird
and then claiming every other does, too, is weak. I'm not aware of one.
Evolution doesn't, Sylpheed doesn't, Claws-Mail doesn't. IIRC KMail and
Wanderlust didn't when I used them. Probably no other does, I just
mentioned those I'm still using or I used a while back.
