I haven't used pine in ages. Switched to mutt not long ago, and haven't looked back.. But, there was a 'mana' package, which appears to be a fork from pine. Worked about as well when I tried it, but I haven't heard a thing about it since. Kernel cousin Debian has something about it: http://kt.zork.net/debian/dd20000914_2_print.html#3 Also, I personally found pine to be very much a memory hog on my system, using about 100MB memory just to load one single email folder. Granted, it was a fairly large folder of 'debian-user' I believe. But still... -- Ferret I will be switching my email addresses from @ferret.dyndns.org to @mail.aom.geek on or after September 1, 2001, but not until after Debian's servers include support. 'geek' is an OpenNIC TLD. See http://www.opennic.unrated.net for details about adding OpenNIC support to your computer, or ask your provider to add support to their name servers.
