Hi,
I have written on the wonders of alpine before.
It still beats all of the graphical tools I have tried. It is better than
many of my colleague's email systems.
So yes, I am happy to answer questions.
I would note that google is your friend - alpine examples abound on the
web.
In my usage patten, alpine is faster to use than the graphical things.
Derek.

Hello,
A while ago--a long while ago, I think--someone on this list shared his
excitement over discovering Alpine, because he was a fan of Pine. I have
since tried a few times to set up Alpine--because it sounded better than
anything else I have used (for me, that is), and I find Thunderbird annoying
in many ways--but I have failed to overcome the geekiness of it every time.
I have recently started regularly using a Linux shell-server, so I am using
the command line for more and more, and I would really like to ditch
graphical mail-readers (especially as I always turn HTML off, so there will
be no loss there).
Could that person, if they still be reading this list, or another Alpine
user, help me get acquainted with this mysterious mail reader?
Thanks,
Aidan
