Pine 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. This package also includes the Pico editor, the
IMAP daemon, a POP2 server, and a POP3 server.
If you want to use the spell checking feature of pine, set the
environment variable SPELL to "/usr/pkg/bin/ispell -l".
An optional configuration file "pine.conf" can be put into /usr/pkg/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 /usr/pkg/share/examples/pine/dot.pinerc.pgp.sample are
example entries needed to add to your .pinerc to activate the pgp add on
scripts pgpdecode, pgpencode, and pgpsign.
