That's fantastic! There is no problem then ;-)

Very similar here. It is very good for high volume email, like lists,
combined with procmail to do the sorting (although Pine has its own
filters, but I don't use them). For html or "comercial" email, I use
Mozilla. Some times I use KMail: very good, but quite slow compared with
Pine.
Other times I use balsa, which I compile myself: either it was dropped
from the distro, or it is an old version. Ah, no, it had wrong options, or
missed pgp support or something I forgot.
The thing is that balsa uses the same tipe of email markings as pine
does, so that email marked read in one shows read in the other. It is
the perfect "complement"

I have tried to use mutt two or three times, but.. failed :-(
I would like a few things more in Pine, of course. Multilingual support,
like choosing what dictionary to use for spell checking. Better gpg/pgp
support... perhaps I'll try "pgpenvelope", but the versions I find are a
bit old, perhaps it's a dead project.
