This version of pine includes add-on code to use SSL to connect to
servers. This is sort of equivalent to clicking on the 'server requires
SSL' button in Netscape or Outlook or the like.
Pine (Program for Internet News & Email) is a tool for reading, sending,
and managing electronic messages. It was designed specifically with
novice computer users in mind, but can be tailored to accommodate the
needs of "power users" as well. Pine uses Internet message protocols
(e.g. RFC-822, SMTP, MIME, IMAP, NNTP) and runs on Unix and PCs.
Besides Pine this package includes the Pico editor, the Pilot file browser.
An optional set of configuration files can be put into /usr/local/etc
to set system wide defaults. Have a look at the documentation installed
in /usr/local/share/doc/pine/ for more details.
Also included in dot.pinerc.pgp.sample are example entries needed to
add to your .pinerc to activate the pgp add on scripts pgpdecode,
pgpencode, and pgpsign.
