I (think I) recall that Pine used to be available in the Cygwin archive.
It no longer is? Any ideas where to get a Cygwin compatible binary?
Pine is basically dead, partly because of licensing/trademark problems
with the University of Washington, and partly due to waning interest
from that same group. (Cite: http://goo.gl/SkfCef)
Alpine was created to solve those problems, though it went through about
4 years of no releases, too. Alpine development restarted last year:
http://patches.freeiz.com/alpine/release/
Another fork is re-alpine: http://sourceforge.net/projects/re-alpine/
Someone who cares about a pine-like mail reader should start packaging
one of these two for Cygwin.
(Not me. I rarely use pine/alpine, and then only to read cron
complaints in mbox format on systems without a real SMTP setup. Even
then, I probably use mailx more often.)
