After having used SuSE for almost a year, I have just installed Debian 2.1. One thing I missed right off the bat is the Pine mailer. It is not available from Debian AFAIK. I downloaded it this morning and now have it working. The problem I run into is I am "pbburton" on the Linux system but "p.b.burton" at my ISP. To resolve this you have to configure it normally to access your system mailbox, then create a role/alias with which the problem you describe is resolved. With Pine it works like a charm. When I reply (as I'm doing now) Pine prompts you and asks if you want to use your alias. "Y" and everything works.
