Pine (Program for Internet News & Email) is a tool for reading, sending,
|
|
|
|
|
and managing electronic messages. It was designed specifically with
|
|
|
|
|
novice computer users in mind, but can be tailored to accommodate the
|
|
|
|
|
needs of "power users" as well. Pine uses Internet message protocols
|
|
|
|
|
(e.g. RFC-822, SMTP, MIME, IMAP, NNTP) and runs on Unix and PCs.

Besides Pine this package includes the Pico editor, the Pilot file browser
|
|
|
|
|
and also the IMAPv4r1 daemon and POP2/POP3 servers (these daemons are not
|
|
|
|
|
built by default).

An optional configuration file "pine.conf" can be put into /usr/local/etc
|
|
|
|
|
to set system wide defaults. The format of this file is identical to the
|
|
|
|
|
.pinerc file that is auto-generated by pine in your home directory.

|
