[expert] Terminal window for programs

[Wayne Petherick]

I have a mail checker that will execute programs for you when mail arrives
on a pop server but cannot get it to automatically run pine when mail
arrives.  I assume that it is because Pine uses a terminal to run.  Is
there a command line argument that will fire up Pine in a term when mail
arrives, something perhaps like:
pine -terminal or
terminal -pine

???
If anyone knows of a tip, I would appreciate it.
