I agree that PC-Pine 4.10 works quite well but it does not support the pipe command, sending filters, or display filters, and so, for example, you can not easily use PGP with PC-Pine. Another useful Pine utility to port would be mbxcvt, which is a tool for converting folder formats. If I were a programmer, *I* would port Unix Pine 4.10 and its utilities to Cygwin. If anyone wants info on setting up and optimizing PC-Pine, check out my page about this at: http://www.ii.com/internet/messaging/pine/pc/ If anyone is inspired to port mail tools, in addition to Pine, I'd love a port of procmail so I could use it to post-process message folders.
