I wonder: Could we all band together and complain *loudly* but *politely*? ;-) This is very very frustrating, and it is giving both Pine and Debian a bad reputation. They are going to keep losing users if they keep this stupid "No patched binaries" thing up. It does nothing but to show how stubborn, non-trusting and "non-free" (libre) they are, and it has become so much of a frustration that many of us here choose to use mutt instead. Should we get a petition and a nice request letter going? :-) Anthony -- Anthony Fok Tung-Ling Civil and Environmental Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] University of Alberta, Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED] Keep smiling! *^_^* Come visit Our Lady of Victory Camp -- http://olvc.home.ml.org/ or http://www.ualberta.ca/~foka/OLVC/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
