Re: What text-mode e-mail client instead on Pine?

Here you go:

http://www.gurulabs.com/files/RELEASE-NOTES-RHL9.html

(The RHL 9 Release Notes are surely available at RH's site, but the copy 
at the link above was the first that I found.)

Pine has not yet been removed from RHL.  However it is among those 
packages listed beneath the "The following packages have been deprecated, 
and may be removed from a future release of Red Hat Linux" heading in the 
release notes.

The reason given is not political (why do people always jump to suspect 
conspiracies?), but a result of the license Pine is released under.  
Apparently it is not 100% GPL-compatible.

FYI.
