There was a thread or two last month on this list (Subject was something
with 'mail' or so) where one could find help how to setup pine with
fetchmail and procmail (IIRC) -- I was asking for help, so one should find
these postings probably by looking for my name in the Red Hat archive
(address should be in the footer) ...
The Pine-procmail-fetchmail combo most of the time works great on my
machine (single-user, with Red Hat 6.1 on it), except for the fact that
until now I didn't find a way to stop Pine revealing the login user-name
in the X-Sender header ... :)
Although I'm new to Linux: it was not difficult to setup Pine this way,
with some help from this list ...
Regards.
