I guess I really have no use for PC-PINE for DOS.  Having to save downloaded
messages one by one while online is awful clumsy, almost as bad as WWW-based.
Since my ISP mail server supports POP3 but not IMAP, I can't use PC-PINE for DOS
for mail either.

Any chance somebody will take the source code for PINE 4.x and build for DOS
with DJGPP & WATT-32?
