less is pretty safe, more or less ;-).

You didn't specify what sort of platform you wanted to use; the
choices vary, considerably, between platforms.

While both pine and mutt have had remote exploit bugs in the past, they
are probably your safeest alternatives. I prefer mutt as it is more
configurable and has a faster to use (IMO) interface than pine.
