I agree: Debian should, for example, ship an /etc/pine.conf containing something like sendmail-path=/usr/lib/sendmail -oem -t -oi I couldn't find any doc for this, but the closest I found, <URL: http://stuff.mit.edu/afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/alpine/alpine-0.99-virgin/doc/tech-notes/background.html > claims that "For UNIX Alpine, if neither smtp-server or sendmail-path is set, the default sendmail program is invoked with the "-bs -odb -oem" flags, and the message is sent using the SMTP protocol." Which would be reasonable, except that it seems to be wrong: Alpine just stupidly complains that it doesnt know how to send mail. -- David A.
