Description:
Pine(tm) --a Program for Internet News & Email-- is a tool for reading,
sending, and managing electronic messages. It was designed specifically
with novice computer users in mind, but can be tailored to accommodate the
needs of "power users" as well. Pine uses Internet message protocols
(e.g. RFC-822, SMTP, MIME, IMAP, NNTP) and runs on Unix and PCs.
The guiding principles for Pine's user-interface were: careful limitation
of features, one-character mnemonic commands, always-present command
menus, immediate user feedback, and high tolerance for user mistakes. It
is intended that Pine can be learned by exploration rather than reading
manuals. Feedback from the University of Washington community and a
growing number of Internet sites has been encouraging.
Pine's message composition editor, Pico, is also available as a separate
stand-alone program. Pico is a very simple and easy-to-use text editor
offering paragraph justification, cut/paste, and a spelling checker.
