Felmon http://mailman12.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/alpine-info So I see from subsequent discussion this is not the right URL. You didn't notice and neither did I, being misled by the affiliation with the U of Washington (and, of course, my inattentiveness). I have also used Alpine, and formerly Pine since much time. Can't reconstruct the history but I seem to recall VAX, I think one used Pine. I couldn't leave it 'behind'. f. -- Davis Verbum sat sapienti.

Hmm, AFAICT the Alpine(linux) codename was already mentioned in this post from 23 August 2005: https://sourceforge.net/p/leaf/mailman/message/12731159/ whereas for Alpine(email), a post from 1 November 2006: https://web.archive.org/web/20070116190434/http://mailman1.u.washington.edu/pipermail/pine-info/2006-November/055008.html refers to a UW web page stating that development of Alpine started in "late 2005", which I would place post-August. Cheers, David.

My apology - I failed to see the reference to alpine linux, and, due to scurrilous actions, the first result in searching, using duckduckgo, on the combination of alpine email application mailing list is the URL for the disreputable operating system above. I have used alpine, and, before alpine, its predecessor, pine, for about 30 years. I know nothing of alpine linux. It is unfortunate and shameful, that the name of the alpine email application,has been used for something completely different. It is like someone using the name Debianporn. The correct URL for the alpine email application mailing list, is https://mailman12.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/alpine-info .. Bret Busby Armadale West Australia (UTC+0800) ..
