You've got to be some purist to have issues with pine's license. I haven't really figured what it was all about. From what I understood they basically say: "If you want to distribute modified binaries, don't call what you distribute 'pine'". Is this it? If you look at message of my home mailer (written with Mandrake's modified pine: pine4.33L2 , If this is it, then this is practically a non-issue. There are more serious issues, e.g a general attitute that is probably similar to the one reflected in: http://www.washington.edu/imap/IMAP-FAQs/index.html#security78 (Yes, I have disabled msg-view-url) -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
