  PINE
       Program for Internet News and Email / PINE Is No longer ELM
       
       

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  Pine
       
          Program for Internet News & Email.  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 {protocol}s (e.g. {RFC 822},
          {SMTP}, {MIME}, {IMAP}, {NNTP}) and runs under {Unix} and
          {MS-DOS}.
       
          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.
       
          Pine features on-line help; a message index showing a message
          summary which includes the status, sender, size, date and
          subject of messages; commands to view and process messages; a
          message composer with easy-to-use editor and spelling checker;
          an address book for saving long complex addresses and personal
          distribution lists under a nickname; message attachments via
          {Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions}; {folder} management
          commands for creating, deleting, listing, or renaming message
          folders; access to remote message folders and archives via the
          {Interactive Mail Access Protocol} as defined in {RFC 1176};
          access to {Usenet} news via {NNTP} or {IMAP}.
       
          Pine, {Pico} and {UW}'s {IMAP} {server} are copyrighted but
          freely available.
       
          {Unix} Pine runs on {Ultrix}, {AIX}, {SunOS}, {SVR4} and
          {PTX}.  PC-Pine is available for {Packet Driver}, {Novell
          LWP}, {FTP PC/TCP} and {Sun} {PC/NFS}.  A {Microsoft
          Windows}/{WinSock} version is planned, as are extensions for
          off-line use.
       
          Pine was originally based on {Elm} but has evolved much since
          ("Pine Is No-longer Elm").  Pine is the work of Mike Seibel,
          Mark Crispin, Steve Hubert, Sheryl Erez, David Miller and
          Laurence Lundblade (now at Virginia Tech) at the University of
          Washington Office of Computing and Communications.
