Prints e-mail okay for me on £inux, and I can't see why it won't do just as well under FreeBSD. On FreeBSD, I use Evolution, but this is with the the Gnome-1.4 desktop exclusively. If you've ever seen MS Outlook, evolution's pretty much the closest mail client I've ever seen to it - and its free. I'm not sure of how stable Evolution would be under KDE, but I imagine there should be some docs for it at the Ximian site (http://www.ximian.com). Hope this helps.
