For the record, PC-PINE does not use the Unix mbox format by default (making it incompatible with Unix pine!) -- it uses a proprietary binary format called "c-client MBX". The developers claim that MBX uses resources more efficiently and can better handle multiple-user access, but of course you cannot open or process these files with grep, awk, or vi. PC-PINE can read and write mbox format, but there is no way to set this as the default; rather, you have to type something like driver.unix/c:/full/pathname/to/mbox every time you create a new mailbox. If PC-PINE had handled this right I never would have made the leap to mutt.
