Oh, goody - another mail-reader war! 8-)
I used pine for years, but now I use xfmail - it's the best X-based reader
I've looked at. 'Course you could always use Netscape...
One advantage of SMTP is that you DON'T need to agree on a specific
mail-reader - mail sent by pine can be read just fine by xfmail, or xmh, or...
(unlike what we did at the office, where we standardized on MS-Exchange, which
isn't even compatible with MS-Mail!)
