Odd that it still runs fine on seven machines for me, all day every day. Maybe someone forgot to tell it. Seriously -- you're replying to a person who doesn't know (or at least doesn't know all) about the setup-config files, and advising him to go get an alpha?? Pine is as user-friendly as anything I can think of; but begin with an alpha?? Btw, as you may have noticed, I *am* on that list -- and over 90% of the discussion is over my head, after fifteen years of running Pine. (I skim youss guyss's posts for what I can get.) Dissenting advice to the OP : keep Pine 4.64, and bookmark the FAQs by Eduardo Chappa, Gopi Sundaram, and Nancy McGough. Also, subscribe to comp.mail.pine -- and to the Pinemasters' list, which is available via Gmane. You can make good use of the time till Alpine is released, just learning all the fine tricks Pine already has -- and most of them will still work in Alpine. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.
