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). 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.
