Hello from Gregg C Levine [GMail]
I've just completed a new setup of Slackware 10.2 here. The strangest
thing started back with the 10.1 or 10.0 release.

Okay here goes, with Pine when it first starts it asks people if it
should send an anonymous message to the people at the agency that
wrote it, essentially to add data to the collection that indicates how
many people are using it.

Naturally I went along with this. And naturally allowed the program to
send it. That started with the earlier releases. Now with the newer
ones, I am seeing mail messages that are complaining that the address
no longer works, and I'm getting the classic bounce message. And why
am I bringing this up here? Very simple, most of the bounce messages
arrive via typical Mail messages for the root user, me. While it isn't
as irritating as it was the first few times, now it's merely a
nuisance.

Is anyone using Pine, internally even, and seeing this?

Also is that the normal behavior for the Mail facility that it how it
describes the arrival of new mail? As if it were a legacy of the
original program from probably the BSD days. (Comment not question)
