I don't know if I would go that far. Pine is great for text-based client. I use mutt, but for years I used Pine and really had a good time with it. My progression from Eudora (win) to Pine (lin) to mutt (lin) was smooth and somehow comfortable. If I had gone from Eudora to mutt, my brain might have popped with all the options. My recommendation would be to go get the linux binary from the Pine website, unzip it, stick it in /usr/local/bin, rename it to simply "pine" and you are set. Makes updates easy too, as you can then just delete the binary, download the new one and repeat the process. All your settings stay the same. May not be the "Debian Way", but it is pretty easy to use, and does most likely 90% of what you want (folders, GPG with an addon, etc). -- Jeff Maxson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
