2. Discussion
2.1. Description:
Alpine is a free, text-based, user-friendly yet powerful
Mail-User-Agent. Alpine is developed by the University of
Washington and succeeds PINE, the very well-known MUA. Alpine
is, modulo regressions, fully backward compatible with PINE in
terms of UI and configuration.
Alpine is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0, where
PINE is licensed under a unique licence which does not allow
for redistribution of modified versions.
Alpine supports IMAP; POP3; various local, file-based
mailstores; TLS; GSSAPI authentication; UTF-8 (lacking in
PINE), amongst other things.
2.2. Intent:
- To deliver Alpine, version 0.9999 or later, to SFW.
- To remove PINE from the CCD.
3. Motivation
Modern, popular MUA support is needed to facilate use
OpenSolaris by developers. PINE support has been requested by
community.
