Here at CMU we have two spiffy news/mail readers (same interfaces)
that I know about.
The Bags messages systems is an gosmacs-based system (written in mocklisp
mostly) with appropriate emacs mouse support it could be made to do most of 
what you want.

The Andrew message system is the technological successor to bags in
that it is window-and mouse-based, but I believe you need the Andrew 
environment (Vice file server, Virtue applications support) tiled
window manager (they may support X protocol) to go with it.

If Andrew messages has something like Kill files (I don't have an
Andrew account), then I'd put it in the same class as 'rn', except
that it's better because it works for mail, too.)
