Hello,
Yes, you right. I have seen a lot of security advisories about Pine. Any
way, I use it only to access my workstation local mail. To download the
mail, I use fetchmail in SSL mode.
In this particular case there is a security problem like you told me?
I start using Pine when I came from (MS) Outlook Express about a year and
this program is the best that I found with the best options to work with
mail.
I read a lot about Mutt 'the mongrel' but I think it isn't the best
choice for newbies like me.
Thanks very much,
