The above URL seems to need www.ompages.com.
I looked at pine 4.05 back in October, and found that it no longer
reads and modifies /var/spool/mail directly. It copies the mail to
its own mail file in my home dir.
I couldn't find an option to retain the old behaviour. Does anybody
know if it's still possible?
If not, I guess I stick with 3.96 or run imapd?

If the file ~/mbox exists, pine will move your inbox mail to this
file. To maintain your mailbox in /var/spool/mail you can either:
1. (re)Move the file ~/mbox
2. Disable this option in your ~/.pinerc by modifying the
disable-these-drivers line to read:
# List of mail drivers to disable. See technical notes.
disable-these-drivers=mbox
Hope this helps.
