I remember PINE. I used to use it with my first E-mail address, which was based on Chebucto Community Net's Telnet server. I used to access it from my local library, back before I had Internet access at home. So much has changed since then... but one thing that has never changed (at least for me) is the message format. I'm still sending my E-mails out in the same plain text I did back in 1996, and will probably continue to do so for the forseeable future. :) John A.
