rxvt is lighter than xterm.
pilot (from pine and pico) is a text based file manager.
pine is text based mail client.
Or you may want to use Claws Mail (aka
Sylpheed-Claws)

> On a related note: what is 'xterm (unicode)'?
http://unicode.org/standard/WhatIsUnicode.html
Recent versions of xterm have unicode support built into it.
It definitely works for me, as I just tried the example at
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html#getxterm
I did:
LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 xterm -fn -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-SemiCondensed--13-120-75-75-C-60-ISO10646-1
And cat UTF-8-demo.txt on the new xterm console.
All of it worked, including Braille, except the Ethiopian did not work for
me.
