Mulberry - the future?

I suspect I am much more of an amateur than many using Mulberry, but I am
an enthusiast. It meets so many of my needs, not least the capacity of the
application to manage and strip away attachments and formatting before
archiving.

For all that, with so much email traffic (annoyingly) now HTML formatted
with zillions of images etc, it has become hard to read many emails on
Mulberry; and there are some other elements also that don't now work so
well. I would hate to leave Mulberry, but if no future version is planned I
may have to.

What is the story?

One way or another, I am so grateful to Cyrus for Mulberry, and what it has
allowed me to do in over 10 years of using it.
