 Hello,

 you might be interested in Mahogany (see http://www.wxwindows.org/Mahogany/).
It is supposed to be (it is not _yet_) a cross-platform Python-friendly
MUA.

 It is written in C++ and not in Python, but it embeds a Python interpreter
and can run Python scripts when something "interesting" happens - like the
program starts or a new message arrives - which should open some interesting
possibilities for extending it.

 I'm afraid that Python support (which was initially one of the main project
goals) slightly faded away recently - mainly because no real Python
programmers became interested in it and we prefer working on something people
really use ourselves. But if you are really interested in Python+MUA
combination, why not help us to make it real?
