II. SUMMARY OF CHANGES ----
- Pine 3.89 is a primarily a maintenance (bug fix) release, correcting
several bugs introduced in 3.88 and earlier.
- If this is the first version of Pine you've used since Pine 3.0x,
you should read the subsequent section on changes since 3.07.
- Fixed: Possibly the last bugs associated with zero length folders
causing crash with "Bad msgno in mailfetchstructure" with new mail
arrival and "Bad msgno in mailelt" after failed save.
- Fixed: Bug in "Goto" command causing attempted open of garbaged
folder names and other odd behavior under certain circumstances.
- Fixed: Explicitly set mode of temporary files for sendmail to 0600. ----
- Fixed: BOOTP gateway, netmask and nameserver recognition (packet-driver
version).
- Fixed: Display bug showing zero length attachments on re-entering the
composer.
- Fixed: Export no longer reports success when write fails. ----
Note to Sequent PTX users: if you are experiencing performance problems,
make sure you get the new patch from Sequent to make "fsync" work like
all other Unix "fsync"s instead of just doing a "sync" instead!
Note to AIX users: There have been reported problems with pine built
in certain AIX 3.2.X environments. If you experience problems building
or running a newly built pine, you might try pine-bin.aix32 available on
ftp.cac.washington.edu. Work to find the source of these problems
continues.
Note to NeXT users: We're aware of, but unable to reproduce, a crash
in the Folder Index. If you can reproduce it, please send details to
pine-bugs@cac.washington.edu.
III. CONFIGURING PINE ----
Pine configuration is accomplished via entries in a personal configuration
file, and/or --in the case of Unix Pine-- an optional system-wide
configuration file. The standard pathnames for these files are as
follows:
-Unix Pine system-wide configuration file: /usr/local/lib/pine.conf
-Unix Pine personal configuration file: ~/.pinerc
-PC-Pine personal configuration file: \PINE\PINERC
Unix Pine can normally be used without any personal configuration, since
the normal defaults or entries in the system-wide pine configuration file
should usually be sufficient to get Pine running. However, PC-Pine needs
information that you must supply the first time you run Pine.
Beyond the basic information necessary to run Pine, there are an ----
ever-growing number of features that you can enable via entries in your
personal config file. Below is the default pinerc configuration file,
including comments, that is created if none exists. Note: comments in
existing pinerc files are not updated by new versions of Pine, but new
variables will be added as appropriate.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Updated by Pine(tm) 3.89, copyright 1989-1993 University of Washington.
#
# Pine configuration file -- customize as needed.
#
# This file sets the configuration options used by Pine and PC-Pine. If you
# are using Pine on a Unix system, there may be a system-wide configuration
# file which sets the defaults for these variables. There are comments in
# this file to explain each variable, but if you have questions about
# specific settings see the section on configuration options in the Pine
# notes. On Unix, run pine -conf to see how system defaults have been set.
# For variables that accept multiple values, list elements are separated
# by commas. A line beginning with a space or tab is considered to be a
# continuation of the previous line.
#------------------------ Essential Parameters ------------------------------
# personal-name specifies your full name as it should appear on outgoing mail.
# If unset, Unix Pine will obtain your full name from the system passwd file.
personal-name=
# user-domain specifies the domain part of your return address on outgoing
# email and is also used as the default domain for email composed to a
# local user. If unset, Unix Pine will obtain the domain from the system.
user-domain=
# List of SMTP servers for sending mail. You must have an SMTP server ----
# for use with PC-Pine. Example: smtp-server=mailhost.u.washington.edu
# If blank on Unix, sendmail will be used.
smtp-server=
# inbox-path specifies the name/path/location of your INBOX. Example:
# inbox-path=
# Normal Unix default is the local INBOX (usually /user/spool/mail/$USER)
inbox-path=
#-------------------- Collections, Folders, and Files -----------------------
# incoming-folders are those other than INBOX that receive new messages.
# Folder syntax: optnl-label
# Use only if you filter incoming email into multiple files or receive
# email on several different machines.
# Example:
# incoming-folders=Consulting
# Widget-Project
# Old-Student-Acct
incoming-folders=
# folder-collections specifies a list of folder collections wherein saved
# messages are stored. The first collection is the default for saves.
# Collection syntax: optnl-label
# Example: ----
# folder-collections=Saved-Email
# Widget-Project widget/[], <-- Valid only in Unix Pine
# Local-PC mail\[] <-- Valid only in PC-Pine
folder-collections=mail/[]
# news-collections specifies one or more collections of news groups.
# News collection syntax: optnl-label *
# Examples:
# news-collections=News *[] <-- if your login host carries news
# news-collections=Subscribed-Groups *
news-collections=
# default-fcc specifies where a copy of outgoing mail is saved. If this is
# not a path name, it will be in the default collection for saves.
# Unix Pine default is normally "sent-mail" in the default folder collection.
# PC-Pine default is "SENTMAIL" (stored as SENTMAIL.MTX) ----
# Example of remote case:
# To suppress saving of outgoing mail, set: default-fcc=""
default-fcc=
# mail-directory is where postponed & interrupted msgs are held temporarily.
mail-directory=
# read-message-folder specifies where already-read messages will be stored.
# If set, you will be asked when you quit Pine if you want read messages
# to be moved to this folder and deleted from your INBOX.
read-message-folder=
----
# signature-file specifies the name or path of a file containing text that
# will automatically be inserted in outgoing mail.
signature-file=
# address-book specifies the filename or path name of Pine's addressbook.
# Unix Pine default is normally ~/.addressbook
# PC-Pine default is \PINE\ADDRBOOK
address-book=
#------------------------------ Preferences ---------------------------------
# feature-list= comma-separated list of features from the following set:
# Note: the value "old-growth" is shorthand for the indicated features...
# enable-full-header-cmd (included in old-growth set)
# enable-unix-pipe-cmd (included in old-growth set)
# enable-bounce-cmd (included in old-growth set)
# enable-alternate-editor-cmd (included in old-growth set)
# enable-suspend (included in old-growth set)
# enable-tab-completion (included in old-growth set)
# enable-jump-shortcut (included in old-growth set)
# quit-without-confirm (included in old-growth set)
# enable-apply-cmd (included in old-growth set)
# enable-flag-cmd (included in old-growth set)
# enable-zoom-cmd (included in old-growth set)
----
# expanded-view-of-folders
# use-function-keys
# include-header-in-reply
# signature-at-bottom
# delete-skips-deleted
# expunge-without-confirm
# auto-move-read-msgs
----
# e.g.
# feature-list= old-growth, signature-at-bottom
# The feature-list that is in effect when you are running Pine is the
# combination of the feature-list set by the system manager in the pine.conf
# file plus the feature-list set by you here. (PC-Pine doesn't have a
# pine.conf so this doesn't apply in that case.) The feature-list is additive
# and the order is significant. First the system-wide pine.conf values are
# read, then yours. Any of the features listed above may also have the
# characters "no-" prepended to it, to cancel its effect. So, for example,
# you could set "feature-list= old-growth, no-quit-without-confirm" if you
# wanted to have all of the old-growth features except for that one. Or,
# if the system manager has set "signature-at-bottom" in the pine.conf file,
# you can cancel that with "no-signature-at-bottom". The default condition
# for all of the features is no-, that is, off.
feature-list=
----
# Pine executes these keys upon startup (e.g. to view msg 13: i,j,1,3,CR,v)
initial-keystroke-list=
# saved-msg-name-rule= determines default folder name for Saves...
# Choose one:
# default-folder, by-from, by-sender, by-recipient, last-folder-used
# Normal default is "default-folder", which on Unix means "saved-messages"
# and in PC-Pine means "SAVEMAIL"
saved-msg-name-rule=
# sort-key= order in which messages will be presented...
# Choose one: subject, from, arrival, date, size.
# Normal default is "arrival"
sort-key=
----
# character-set should reflect the capabilities of the display you have.
# Normal default is US-ASCII. Typical alternatives include ISO-8859-x,
# where x is a number between 1 and 9.
character-set=
# editor specifies the program invoked by ^_ in the Composer.
# This is normally an alternative to Pine's internal composer (Pico)
editor=
# Program to view images if format such as GIF and TIFF
image-viewer=
# Used if "user-domain" not set. Strips hostname from user's return address.
# Not applicable for PC-Pine
use-only-domain-name=
#--------- Set within or by Pine: No need to edit below this line -----------
# Your printer selection
printer=
# Special print command if it isn't one of the standard printers
personal-print-command=
# Date last time you were asked about deleting old sent-mail (automatic)
last-time-prune-questioned=
# Version of Pine used last session (set automatically)
last-version-used=3.85
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(End of pinerc file.)
----
The "enable-jump-shortcut" option allows you to enter message numbers
without typing the "J" command.
The "expanded-view-of-folders" will cause all folder collections to be
expanded when you look at the FOLDER LIST, rather than the default
"abstracted" view.
"Delete-skips-deleted" changes the standard behavior of the delete
command when you are viewing messages. Normally, pressing "D" marks the
current message for deletion and moves to the next message. With
"delete-skips-deleted" set, Pine will jump to the next undeleted
message.
----
The "saved-msg-name-rule" replaces the old "elm-style-save" option.
There is a new option to specify a folder to save messages that have
been read. If set, you will be prompted upon quitting Pine to save
viewed messages to this folder. If the option is set in the global
pine.conf file, it can be overridden with an explicit null string ("")
value.
# The folder where a copy of read mail is saved.
read-message-folder=
If this variable is set, and you'd like the transfer to occur without
prompting you when you quit Pine, add "auto-move-read-msgs" to your
feature list.
----
A note on folder collections: the -f command line option, and .pinerc
variables specifying the location of "default-fcc" and "mail-directory"
can be fully-qualified path names, but if they are ambiguous, they will
be interpreted relative to the primary (first) folder-collection
specification. This is in contrast to the signature file, which is
relative to home directory. Also, a .newsrc file -- if you are using
NNTP to access news -- must be in your home directory on Unix or in
\NEWSRC on DOS. Note that the "mail-directory" variable is now used
only to define a place to put postponed and interrupted messages.
----
A note on default-fcc: if you are using PC-Pine and wish to have the same
sent-mail file as for Unix Pine, you *must* set "default-fcc=sent-mail"
and make sure that the Unix sent-mail file is in the directory defined as
your primary folder-collection; that is, the first one in the
folder-collection list.
IV. READING NEWS ----
Background.
Pine can read Internet news (NetNews or Usenet) groups, using the same
commands as for mail. This capability is still "work in progress", so
some obvious capabilities are missing. For example, Pine does not yet
know how to post messages to a news group, nor does it have commands to
subscribe to or unsubscribe newsgroups. The consequence of this is that,
for now, you must already have a "newsrc" file in order to permit Pine
to read news. Any Unix newsreader (e.g. rn, trn, nn) can be used to
create a suitable .newsrc file. Pine will update the .newsrc file in a
way that is compatible with other news readers, although Pine uses the
information in the file in a slightly different way than other news readers.
Configuring Pine for news access. ----
Pine can access news folders in any one of three different ways:
-Using the Network News Transport Protocol (NNTP) to access news on
a remote news server. In this case the newsrc file is stored on
the machine where Pine is running. Put a line similar to the following
in your .pinerc to use this mode of access:
news-collections=News *
-Using the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) to access news ----
on a remote news server. In this case, your newsrc file is stored
on the news server, in your home directory, so you must have an
account on the news server, but you would be running Pine on a
different machine. The news server must be running an IMAPd server
process. Put a line similar to the following in your .pinerc
to use this mode of access:
news-collections=News *
-Using local file access to the news database. In this case, your newsrc
file is stored on the news server, in your home directory, so you must
have an account on the news server, and you would be running Pine on the
same machine. Put a line similar to the following in your .pinerc to
use this mode of access:
news-collections=News *[]
In the first two examples, the hostname "news.wherever.edu" should be ----
replaced with the domain name of your local news server. For Unix Pine,
these entries can be placed in either the system-wide or your personal
configuration file.
If you are a PC-Pine user, either option 1 (NNTP) or option 2 (IMAP) is
possible. If you don't have an account on the news server, or if the news
server is not running an IMAP daemon, then you must use NNTP. In this
case, a Unix .newsrc file can be transferred to your PC. It should be
named \NEWSRC. A future version of PC-Pine will be able to access and
update a newsrc file stored on a Unix host, so that it will be possible to
alternate between PC-Pine and Unix-based news readers.
Using Pine to read news. ----
Once defined in the .pinerc (or the global pine.conf) file, the news
folder collection can be accessed either via the FOLDER LIST screen,
of via the GOTO command.
Once a news folder has been opened, Pine currently positions you at the
last message. (In the future, this is expected to change.) Pine uses the
same commands for manipulating news folders as for mail folders. This
means, for example, that when you are done with a message, you would use
"D" to mark it as Deleted (or Dismissed, if you prefer.)
This "mail like" behavior differs from that of most newsreaders, wherein
a message is implicitly dismissed after you have looked at it once. We
strongly believe that Pine should offer as much consistency as possible
between mail and news, so the mail paradigm --wherein a message does not
magically disappear without explicit action by the user-- is used for
news as well.
News folders are actually Read-Only, but the newsrc file allows Pine to ----
keep track of which messages you have dismissed (marked as Deleted) just
as in a regular mail folder. The difference is that, although messages
marked as Deleted will show up in the Index (just as mail messages do
until an eXpunge), you cannot expunge news messages. However, in the
future there will be a way to "hide" (or "eXclude") messages that are
so marked from the Folder Index.
If you answer a message in a news folder, the index view will show the
"A" flag as usual; but the newsrc file has no way of storing this flag,
so it will not be preserved across sessions. The Deleted flag is the only
one that is preserved between sessions.
NOTE: full NetNews functionality is not yet available in Pine; there
is still much to be done in this area. Stay tuned...
V. CHANGES SINCE PINE 3.07 ----
Version 3.89 is the fourth maintenance release since 3.85, which was a
major release with lots of changes and new features since 3.07. If you
are upgrading from 3.07 to 3.89, here are some of the changes you may
notice:
- Pine 3.8x has several major new features (compared to Pine 3.07):
o Various UI improvements (command consistency, simplification, etc).
o Multiple folder collections.
o Remote folder create/append (requires new IMAPd).
o Composer has Mark command for block cut/paste.
o Messages directly to you marked with "+" in Folder Index.
o Messages that have been answered marked with "A" in Folder Index.
o Improved handling of text and postscript attachments.
o Improved mailbox lock handling: latest Pine will now be read-write.
o Several new .pinerc options.
o Several new command line options.
o Easier access to newsgroups (but still not a full newsreader).
o TAB command to move to next unseen message.
- Several command key changes were needed to allow for new features: ----
o Print is now "Y" instead of "L"
o The Folder List is now uniformly accessible via "L"
o Viewing/saving attachments is now done via "V" instead of "A"
o SortIndex is now "$" instead of "Z"
- In addition...
- Release includes PC-Pine ports, as well as Unix Pine.
- Ability to view plain text attachments.
- Correct MIME type assigned for text, postscript and TIFF files.
- Configurable by feature (instead of having to choose 1 feature level).
- Initial keystroke list in configuration or command line.
- Command line -p flag to specify an alternate personal config file.
- Command line -P flag to specify an alternate system-wide config file.
- Command line -o flag for opening a mailbox Read-Only.
- Command line -I flag for initial keystroke list.
- More support for USENET news access via both IMAP and NNTP
(The NNTP driver reads/updates local newsrc configuration files).
- Changed order of reply prompts to reduce mistakes. ----
- In the Save command, folder name completion using TAB key.
- More consistency of commands across screens.
- Main menu command selection via Prev/Next/Enter.
- An option for automatically saving read-messages upon quitting.
- Better INBOX lock handling: latest Pine always gets read-write access.
- Improved display defaults for charsets other than us-ascii.
- PC-Pine: code-page translation to ISO-8859 charset.
- PC-Pine: improvements in how location of config files are specified.
- PC-Pine: generate X-Sender line with authenticated address.
- PC-Pine: more config flexibility in specifying location of support files.
- PC-Pine: prompts before saving user name in pinerc; can disable save.
- PC-Pine: NNTP driver changed to warn of missing NEWSRC file.
- PC-Pine: if \PINE\PINE.PWD exists, prompts for saving passwd on disk.
- Changed Keyboard lock strategy to eliminate use of system passwd file.
- Removed disk quota command (hard to make it accurate!)
- Reorganized source code to make ports more straight forward.
- Integrated several contributed ports.
- Pinerc configuration variable for addressbook location. ----
- SMTP-host config variable now allows a list of host names.
- Choice of several rules for generating default folder names in Save.
- Several other new .pinerc options. (See PINERC section, below.)
- Globally-set (pine.conf) features can now be negated in pinerc.
- Many bug fixes!
NOTE: Several commands can be enabled by .pinerc options, but not all of
them actually exist yet. In particular: Flag, Bounce, Pipe, Apply, Zoom.
Also: news item eXclude/uneXclude and news group subscription/unsubscription
are not yet available.
Handling Locking with multiple sessions. ----
Pine 3.84 introduced a new mechanism to handle competition between
multiple sessions for a single INBOX. Previously, the first session would
have to be stopped before another could get read/write permissions on an
open inbox. Now, the newest session forces the older session to surrender
read/write access to the mailbox. Note: in the future, Unix Pine will
also support the MTX mailbox format used by PC-Pine. This format permits
multiple sessions to all have read-write access (except that eXpunge can
only occur when there is a single session).
Folder Collections. ----
Pine allows you to have full access to sets of folders on you local
machine plus those on any remote host running an IMAP server. These sets
of folders are called "collections" and Pine has some special new
browsing features to take advantage of them. By default, everyone has one
folder collection. Additional collections may be defined by editing your
.pinec configuration file.
MIME Attachments. ----
Pine now recognizes attachments which are displayable text and marks them
the appropriate MIME type for text. Pine has a new system for determining
which MIME text attachments should be displayed automatically and which
should be displayable on request. In addition there is a new text
attachment viewer module just for browsing these attachments. Finally,
Pine will now recognize postscript files and TIFF image files and assign
the correct MIME type information in the message.
Other things you should know.
Unfortunately, when you Save a message to a folder, the message state
flags (e.g. whether it was Deleted, or Answered) are not preserved. This
will be fixed in a future release.
Msg sizes are intentionally left blank in the index when using NNTP.
----
If a file called ~/mail.txt exists and is either empty or appears to be a
Tenex-style mailbox, Pine will decide to use its "tenex2" driver which
will move all pending mail from /usr/spool/mail/$USER to mail.txt, and use
mail.txt as your INBOX. This behavior is subject to change; in particular,
the "tenex2" driver will be deprecated in favor of an MTX driver that
will provide a common mailbox format between Unix Pine and PC-Pine.
VI. RATIONALE FOR USER-INTERFACE CHANGES IN PINE 3.8x ----
In Pine 3.85/3.86, there are many feature additions and more consistent
use of command keys; but a few changes may trip you up the first time.
Here are some specific things to watch out for, and an explanation of why
we changed them:
o Main menu: "F FOLDERS" is now "L LIST FOLDERS"
WHY: In order to implement a pervasive command (L) to get to the Folder
List screen, available from all major screens. The letter "F"
conflicted with "Forward" on the Folder Index and Message Text
screens.
o The "L Print" command is now the "Y Print" command. ----
WHY: We needed to reclaim L so there would be a consistent and
mnemonic command for the important operation of getting to the
Folder List screen ("L ListFldrs"). Since printing is also an
important operation, this change was made with great reluctance.
On the other hand, "L Print" wasn't especially mnemonic, and
"Y Print" offers a nice environmental message!
o The "O OTHER" command on the Main menu and the corresponding
"OTHER" screen has been eliminated. In its place, there is a Setup
command, and a couple of other commands added to the key menu at the
bottom of the Main menu.
WHY: Simplification. Providing more direct access to some of the
"miscellaneous" functions allowed elimination of the Other screen.
This also allowed us to use "O OTHER CMDS" on the main key menu,
for greater consistency with the other screens.
----
o The Main menu now supports selection of the principal commands using
Previous/Next navigation commands, and RETURN to select.
WHY: Consistency with the other Pine screens.
o In "Reply" the order of prompts has been reversed. The prompt
"Include original message in Reply?" is now always the first one.
WHY: "Reply to all recipients?" depends on the specific msg header,
and therefore is not always present. Although it may take
getting used to, we felt that in the long run it would be better
to have the first prompt be the one that is *always* applicable.
Also, with the future ability to post news replies, there will be
different prompts following a Reply. Again it seemed best to
start with the invariant prompt.
----
o The ^T sub-command under Save and Goto will behave slightly differently.
WHY: We hope the new "select" behavior makes it clearer to the user
what is going on. In other words, a "user interface improvement".
o The "Z Sort Folder" command is now "$ Sort Index"
WHY: Two reasons. The change from Z to $ was because we will need
"Z" for some of the newsreading and aggregate operations
that are planned for a future release. Besides, "$" looks more
like an "S" for Sort than "Z" does... In addition, the word
"Folder" was changed to "Index" to emphasize that only the
Index is being affected; the folder itself is *not* reordered by
the Sort command.
o The disk quota command has been removed.
WHY: Because on many systems it caused nothing but trouble,
moreover it was useless for remote folder management.
VII. PC-PINE: BACKGROUND, DIFFERENCES/LIMITATIONS ----
Summary: There are several known limitations in the PC version...
o There is no spelling checker.
o Sorting the Index (by other than Arrival) is *hopelessly* slow.
o The alternate editor function is not available.
o Memory: it needs about 500K out of 640K.
o Probably can't run image viewer from within Pine, due to memory.
o Performance optimization still needs to be done.
o Versions: packet driver, Novell LWP, FTP PC-TCP, Sun PC-NFS
Most of the work done on Pine from 6/92 to 6/93 focused on changes needed to
support a truly distributed electronic messaging environment (e.g. remote
folder manipulation), and getting Pine to run on DOS (which was a *lot* of
work). The first version of PC-Pine (3.84) was released in July 1993, and
included first steps toward integrating news and email access in Pine.
Doing the DOS port was very difficult for a variety of reasons, but ----
especially because of DOS memory management (or lack thereof). However,
simply porting Pine 3.07 to DOS was not sufficient. For a desktop mailer
such as PC-Pine to be useful at UW, it was necessary to fully support
access to existing *remote* saved-message folders, as well as local
(desktop) folders -- and of course, the remote INBOX. Accomplishing this
required extensions to IMAP, a new version of the IMAPd server code, and
extensive work in Pine to support multiple collections of folders.
The principal reason for porting Unix Pine to DOS was to obviate the need
for PC users to transfer files between their PC and the Unix system running
Pine. Now it is possible to save messages directly to the PC's filesystem,
and to directly include PC files in outgoing messages. Binary files (e.g.
word processing documents, spreadsheets, image files, executables) may be
directly attached to your messages.
With the advent of Pine 3.85/3.86, both Unix Pine and PC-Pine have ----
essentially similar functionality and user-interface. But there are
some differences. Below is a list of PC-Pine differences and limiations:
-Sorting the index is *hopelessly* slow right now... especially for
newsgroups accessed via NNTP.
-There is no spelling checker for PC-Pine.
-The "alternate editor" function is not available.
----
-Composing/Replying/Forwarding: the entire message text must fit in DOS
memory. However, attachments may be any size.
-PC-Pine wants about 500K of DOS memory.
-Don't expect to display a picture without exiting PC-Pine, due
to DOS memory limitations. In some configurations, there *may* be enough
memory for the viewer and a small image, but don't count on it.
-Performance optimization has not been done. This will be most ----
noticeable when using NNTP to access newsgroups, or when Index screens are
redrawn while using PC-Pine over low-speed lines (via SLIP or PPP).
Encoding a decoding attachments is also very slow in this version.
-While message folders may be either local or remote, several support
files must be available on the local disk. In particular:
\pine\pinerc
\pine\addrbook (you may specify a different name/location for this)
\newsrc
\pine\pine.sig (you may specify a different name/location for this)
Other files (postponed and interrupted messages, debug files) are also
stored locally. The same is true for Unix Pine, but only users of both
PC-Pine and Unix Pine must worry about keeping their pinerc, address book,
and newsrc files in sync. This may be done using remote file system
protocols or manual copying. (Remote access to these support files is
planned for the future.)
-PC-Pine wants to live in a directory called \PINE ----
-The PC-PINE message folder format, denoted by files with an "MTX" extension,
is based on byte-counts for maximum efficiency, so they must not be edited.
The format is non-standard, but conversion utilities would not be difficult.
In the future, this format may be supported in Unix Pine as well.
-PC-Pine does not create debug files
-PC-Pine mouse support is not yet available on some screens
----
VIII. COMING ATTRACTIONS
- Shared (plus personal) address books
- Improved network news support, including posting and subscribing
- Implementation of "missing" commands (Bounce, Pipe, Flag)
- Improved MIME support, including "mailcap"
- For PC-Pine, beginnings of "offline" support
- For PC-Pine, performance improvement
- A Windows/Winsock version (though not initially a GUI)
- Access to remote support files: address books, newsrc, pinerc
- Operations on multiple messages (aggregate operations)
- Threaded Index views
- Improved Search capability
- Access to directory services from Composer
