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
|
|
and also the IMAPv4r1 daemon and POP2/POP3 servers (these daemons are not
|
|
built by default).
|
|
|
|
If you want to use the spell checking feature of Pine, set the
|
|
environment variable SPELL to "/usr/local/bin/ispell -l".
|
|
|
|
An optional configuration file "pine.conf" can be put into /usr/local/etc
|
|
to set system wide defaults. The format of this file is identical to the
|
|
.pinerc file that is auto-generated by pine in your home directory.
|
|
|
|
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.
