Hi there, If there isn't already a slackware package for it, Get and compile mutt from http://www.mutt.org. IMHO its way nicer than pine. It does everything pine does (with the exception of reading news, and for that you want slrn) as well as having a much nicer interface to use with speech, and the ability to do things like checking pop3 and imap accounts, and built in support for encryption using pgp or gnupg. Once you try it, you won't go back. Regards Aaron On Fri, Jun 21, 2002 at 01:59:36PM -0400, Deedra Waters wrote: > Pine, I don't think will receive mail, though it does send.
