I'm reading and replying in w3m with 3 tabs open. It's my favourite text based browser. As other people have suggested, screen is good too, but I have just one w3m running in a screen window. Another screen window for mutt and so on. I like text based interfaces.

No. Really, it's mine. And it's also my wife's.
