pine 4.0x is good. with it we get the best of all the worlds. the
same pine interface that we know and love, and the ability to read <FONT
SIZE="+97"><FONT COLOR="RED"><BLINK>HTML EMAIL!!!!</BLINK></FONT></FONT>
personally i think that rich text / html email is the obvious way to go. a
decent percentage of people out there love pretty colors and pictures. so
this way the ascii folks can see the email in plain text (with occassional
bolds and underlines) and the htmlers can see their 97 point bold red
blinking text too :)
that said, i've gotten my opinion out, and i'll shut up now...
carry on, nothing more to see here
