Free Agent or Microplanet Gravity are few good ones.
I like Xnews:
http://xnews.newsguy.com/
It's completely free, and it's more powerful & flexible than OE.
It has a number of nifty features, like the ability to set display colors for different levels of quoting (that is, when you're reading a message, all lines preceeded by >>> are green, >> are red, > are blue, the signature is grey, etc.). It can also automagically "clean up" bad line-wrapping which has broken up a section of quoted text. And when you write a reply, it has a "rewrap and join" feature which cleans up the text you're quoting. Even trimming quotes is easier since you can simply select the text you want to quote in the displayed message, and it will trim the rest when you reply. The appearance is completely customizable (layout, font, color, etc.), and you can specify different keyboard shortcuts for just about everything. It also has extensive filtering functionality, and can easily work with binary files (combining, decoding, yENC support, etc.).
The only downside: no built-in spellchecker. Some people use an external spellchecker (Xnews supports both external spellcheckers and text editors) but I just "wing it" and hope I don't skrew up teh spillling tue baddly. ;-)
