Folks,

This is not meant to start a bloody war, but just for information, which
MUA is better, pine or elm. I do

bash$ ls -l `which pine elm`
-rwxr-sr-x   1 root      mail       301588 Dec 12  1995 /usr/bin/elm
-rwxrwxr-x   1 root      bin       1188816 May  5  1999 /usr/bin/pine

Ooops, pine is nearly 4 times in size than elm. Personally, i have always
been using pine. Is there anything which pine provides, and elm does
not? Or do i need to recompile my pine (but both already use the same
libraries).

bash$ ldd `which pine elm`
/usr/bin/pine:
        libtermcap.so.2 => /lib/libtermcap.so.2.0.8
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.3.12
/usr/bin/elm:
        libtermcap.so.2 => /lib/libtermcap.so.2.0.8
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.3.12

Why is pine so memory thirsty?

Sharad.
