Jebus you are serious about getting exactly what you want! If you run Wine 
or CrossOver office read on, otherwise hit the delete key before I insult 
you:) Check out Forte Agent. Runs great under CXO and can run pretty good 
with plain Wine. It allready has every thing you listed except HTML. Read 
support is in beta testing and should be out soon. (I'm a tester and I am 
happy with it...) Write support is not currently planed. 

Coincidentally Agent was rewritten in wxWidgets just a few years ago. 
Variety of reasons, mostly for features that could not be as easily 
implemented in the original Borland C. But it also allows the possibility 
of a native linux version in the future.
