--Hi Pete,
I've used Pine a little bit in a Caldera dist. I tried before. It's a great
reader if you can get it to work. It's very command line-ey. Also after you get
it installed you have to go through this big and very austere config adventure
before you can actually read your mail. The good thing is that all your friends
will think you're a Super-Geek when they see you reading mail on it. I still
think that so far the KDE mail reader is the easiest and best.
