(Writing this from Netscape Communicator...) We've had the same argument
for a *long* time now here. Company policy is to move to Communicator,
which I prefer though still very buggy, however there is a contingent
that are staunchly pro-Pine, including our Postmaster. We've pretty much
compromised that all new users will use Communicator but old users and
"power" users may use Pine.
I admit such forcing of specific tools sounds a bit draconian, but
otherwise we get into real issues trying to support too many varieties
of mail clients. Messenger was choosen because of its cross-platform
support (that is if anyone cared).
