Package: alpine
Version: 0.82+dfsg-3
Severity: wishlist

Please support PASSFILE. I suggest ~/.alpine-passwd. The UW team are
dogmatic about not making this feature configurable, but even if it's
compiled in, it can be switched off by the site administrator or by
the user, or the user can simply not create the file and it will not
be used. Hence, it's entirely compatible with safe defaults, and for
users like me on personal computers who need to use a password to
access their SMTP and/or incoming server, it's a real time-saver.
(This feature is compiled in by default on PC-PINE, which is a mystery
to me, since these days a Windows system is just as likely to be
multi-user as a Linux system.)
