Summary of Recent Changes

We have been very gratified by the response to Pine 4.00, both because it
is clear that many people still care about Pine, and also because,
notwithstanding some rough edges, folks seem to be generally pleased with
the new functionality. Thank you for your continuing interest and
support!

Version 4.02 is a maintenance release of 4.01 which is mainly intended to
fix a bug introduced in Pico version 3.1. The lone affect of this bug on
Pine proper was in the composer's periodic check point file output which,
under normal circumstances, is removed once a message being composed is
sent.

The version 4.01 release was driven by the discovery of a security
vulnerability in the imapd program packaged with Pine 4.00. (The problem
exists in all previous versions of the University of Washington's IMAP4.1
server, too.) In the few days available, there was no time to correct
very many of the 4.00 bugs that have been reported, but a few of them
have been corrected ...

  Changes in Pine 4.02

 *  fixed Pico over-quota protection code that under some conditions
    caused a changed file to end up with one or more occurrences of the
    letter 'U' appended to the old data followed by the new contents
 *  restored behavior of "enable-fast-recent-test" feature to be fast
    when possible

  Changes in Pine 4.01

 *  Included updated imapd with fix for security vulnerabilty.
 *  Added feature to "quell-folder-internal-msg"
     +  Beginning with version 4.00, Pine supports enhanced functionality for
        sites using the standard Unix mailbox format or the MMDF mailbox
        format. It does this by creating a "pseudo-message" at the
        beginning of the folder which holds the following values:
         o  unique identifier validity stamp
         o  last assigned unique identifer
         o  any keyword flags assigned to the mailbox
        These values are essential for the correct operation of modern
        IMAP and POP servers (which use persistent unique identifiers, or
        UIDs), but Pine also needs them to support capabilities such as
        being able to mark messages as Answered when the Reply has been
        postponed, and (on systems where Unix or MMDF folder formats are
        not standard), the ability to create a folder in one of these
        formats. (Without the pseudo message to identify the mailbox
        format type, the folder would be empty and Pine would not know
        the desired format type for subsequent use.)

        One disadvantage of this scheme is that mailers that are not
        built on top of the University of Washington's message access
        subroutine libraries will not "hide" the pseudo message from
        users. Another disadvantage of having these pseudo messages is
        that, when found in folders used to receive new messages, some
        mail notification tools may be confused and behave incorrectly.
        There are several solutions to this problem. For example, some
        sites have modified the notification tools to ignore mailboxes
        whose length corresponds to the pseudo message. However, these
        pseudo messages may be deemed undesirable at sites where IMAP or
        POP are not used, and where it is more important to support other
        unmodified mail tools than to permit Pine to be able to mark
        messages as Answered when the Reply is postponed. Accordingly,
        Pine 4.01 offers a new feature to "quell-folder-internal-msg".

        Note that this feature only relates to mailboxes in standard Unix
        or MMDF format. See the help text for this feature (which is set
        via the SETUP CONFIGURATION screen) for more details on its
        effect.

 *  Removed extra newlines in some Reply cases
 *  Fixed incorrect header wrapping
 *  Fixed Pico temporary file permissions
 *  Fixed "Error preparing to close file: invalid argument"
 *  Fixed "Select fails: [NOTIMAP4] Can't do peeking fetch]"
 *  Fixed "Search Failed: Unknown Search Criteria 1:524"
 *  Fixed "SEARCH ALL: IMAP COMMAND LINE TOO LONG"
 *  Fixed bug in determining "first-unread" message
 *  Fixed some build problems for SGI and SCO platforms
 *  Fixed some sorting problems with address books
 *  Fixed inability to specify "no fcc" in address book entries
     +  You may enter "" (two double quotation marks) in the Fcc field of the
        addressbook entry editor (not the message composer) to specify
        that the message should not be saved to a folder when using this
        entry. (It no longer works to specify "/dev/null").
 *  Added notification related to "mbox" driver
 *  Revised "new user" message and prompt (and docserver behavior)
 *  Reorganized Pine ports document to group them by vendor
 *  Added explanation of "Mailbox vulnerable" warning in Release Notes
 *  Added ability to specify user name on nntp-server via "/user=" syntax

  Things not fixed in Pine 4.02

 *  The < command doesn't always take you to the next level up
 *  The "expanded-view-of-folders" feature is still gone
     +  Many of you noticed that this feature was retired in Pine 4.00 ...
        and were not pleased. Accordingly, we will be investigating the
        feasibility of restoring this feature while still offering the
        new hierarchical folder support.
 *  Several News handling problems
 *  Several URL handling problems
 *  Several build problems

  Regarding mail disappearing from the system spool directory:

      Beginning with Pine 4.00 (but also with earlier versions of the
      University of Washington's imapd server), a new INBOX access method
      is available as part of the standard configuration. It is called
      the "mbox" driver and it works like this:

      If the file "mbox" exists in the user's home directory, and is in
      Unix mailbox format, then when INBOX is opened this file will be
      selected as INBOX instead of the mail spool file. Messages will be
      automatically transferred from the mail spool file into the mbox
      file. Beginning with Pine 4.01, a message is displayed whenever
      Pine copies messages from the system mail spool directory to the
      mbox file.

      The advantage of this method is that, after new mail has been
      copied from the system mail spool, all subsequent access is
      confined to the user's home directory, which is desirable on some
      systems. However, a possible disadvantage is that mail tools other
      than those from the University of Washington will not know to look
      for mail in the user's mbox file. For example, POP or IMAP servers
      other than those from the University of Washington, and many "new
      mail notification" programs may not work as expected with this
      driver enabled.

      To disable this behavior, either remove/rename the "mbox" file or
      find the "disable-these-drivers=" variable in your Pine
      configuration file and add "mbox" to it. You must manually edit the
      config file so that you see the following:

      disable-these-drivers=mbox

          ____________________________________________________________

  Improvements made in Pine 4.00

 *  New screen navigation commands:
    < (the "less than" symbol) for "level up"
    > (the "greater than" symbol) for "level down"
     +  No need to Shift for < and > keys (just use , and . keys)
     +  Optional use of left and right arrow keys for same functions as < and
        > keys (by setting "enable-arrow-navigation" feature)

 *  Hierarchical folder collections
     +  If multiple folder collections are defined, they are now presented in
        a COLLECTION LIST screen. Choosing a folder collection from this
        screen displays its FOLDER LIST screen. (Previous versions of
        Pine showed all folder collections in one FOLDER LIST screen.)
     +  When a folder is added to a collection in the FOLDER LIST screen, it
        can now also be defined to be a subdirectory (rather than a
        mailfolder-file containing messages), using the new command "^X
        Create Directory" at the "Folder name to add :" prompt. Each such
        subdirectory can contain mail folders and/or other
        subdirectories, thus allowing for the creation of a hierarchical
        structure within each folder collection.

 *  URL recognition and viewer dispatch
     +  With Pine now capable of recognizing URLs and dispatching your
        favorite web browser to view them, it is now straightforward to
        access additional web-based information about Pine. Accordingly,
        the Update command on Pine's SETUP menu has been retired.

 *  Basic rendering of message bodies in HTML format

 *  Help screens with hyperlinks to other help screens and dynamic
    content (for example, showing current working directory)

 *  Addressbooks improvements
     +  Revised screens and commands
     +  Can now store addressbook on IMAP server. This permits access to the
        same addressbook from different computers running Unix or PC Pine
        4.02. (These remote addressbooks cannot be used by other email
        clients.)
     +  Aggregate operations
     +  LDAP support

 *  Various MIME improvements

 *  IMAP4.1 protocol revisions (but no disconnected or offline mode yet)
     +  The UNIX format support now maintains unique identifiers (UIDs) and
        keyword flags for each message, and keeps a message at the start
        of the file which contains the UID base information and a list of
        assigned keywords. There is no way to disable this behavior,
        since it would disable IMAP4rev1 support. This message may show
        up if you access the mailbox as a file using older mail software
        (e.g. Pine 3.9x). It is invisible with IMAP or POP access, or
        with access as a file using Pine 4.02. Also see Pine 4.01's new
        feature quell-folder-internal-msg.

 *  Support for LDAP directory access and Kerberos V authentication if
    suitable libraries (U. of Michigan LDAP, MIT GSSAPI) are provided at
    compile time (see Pine's Technical Notes for details). More
    information on LDAP and on Kerberos can be found on the World Wide
    Web at the following URLs (as of 29 June 1998), respectively:
                      http://www.umich.edu/~dirsvcs/ldap/

                        http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/www/

 *  Enhanced functions
     +  GoTo and Save commands:
         o  Use TAB to complete, TAB TAB to list matches beginning with entered
            string (when "enable-tab-completion" feature is set)
         o  ^X lists folder names matching substring (when
            "enable-partial-match-lists" feature is set)
     +  GoTo command has more default options, e.g. always stay in primary
        collection
     +  Folder List:
         o  Select/Zoom based on text match or folder properties
         o  Select can search multiple folders
     +  SETUP:
         o  Can edit incoming folder collection, (e.g. delete entry, not folder)
         o  New setup screens (folder collections, address books, directories)

 *  Composer improvements
     +  "Answered" flag now set when postponed replies are sent
     +  Search and replace feature
     +  Cut-from-cursor feature now works in header
     +  Configurable reply-indent-string
     +  Can request various Delivery Service Notification options

 *  Preferences improvements
     +  New selections on the SETUP menu (accessed from the MAIN MENU
        screen):
         o  collectionList - for defining folder collections (moved here from
            being a single option - "folder-collections" - in SETUP
            CONFIGURATION)
         o  AddressBooks - for defining address books
         o  Directory - for defining LDAP directory servers - this selection is
            only available on the SETUP menu if your version of Pine was
            compiled with LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)
            access support. For information on LDAP, visit the University
            of Michigan's WWW site at the URL (as of 29 June 1998):
                      http://www.umich.edu/~dirsvcs/ldap/

         o  expunge-without-confirm-everywhere
         o  ldap-result-to-addrbook-add
         o  news-deletes-across-groups
     +  New, "hidden" features - must be manually added to .pinerc file,
        cannot be set in SETUP CONFIGURATION screen:
         o  allow-changing-from
         o  quell-partial-fetching
         o  termdef-takes-precedence

            Defines method used to sort FOLDER LIST screen
         o  form-letter-folder:
            Defines folder to hold oft-sent, semi-static messages
     +  Superceded features in configuration (.pinerc) file:
         o  expanded-view-of-addressbooks
         o  expanded-view-of-folders
         o  disable-update-cmd

 *  Miscellaneous improvements
     +  Bug report screen and Report Bug command replaced by help screen
        covering "Places to Look for More Answers" and "Requesting help"
        with hyperlinks to it from many other help screens
     +  Performance:
         o  Server-based sorting
         o  Fast ordered-subject threading including IMAP server based threading
         o  Quicker display of index entries and message text
         o  Reduced memory use for default Unix mailbox format
             o  No longer keeps entire mailbox in memory
     +  Revised debug options to allow more flexibility
     +  New local file formats mbx and mx
     +  New "Mailbox vulnerable" warning message
         o  This message indicates that Pine was not able to create the lockfile
            needed on most systems to coordinate access between Pine and
            the system's mail delivery program. The failure is typically
            a result of unduly restrictive protections on the system mail
            spool directory. The recommended solution is to set the
            permissions on that directory to 1777. Warning: some sites
            have installed Pine as a privileged setgid program in order
            to avoid having to make the spool directory world-writable.
            We strongly recommend against doing this, as Pine was never
            designed to run with privileges and represents a significant
            security risk if operated in that mode. For more information
            on this topic, including why setting one's mail spool
            directory to 1777 is not a security risk, please see "What
            Systems Managers Need to Know about Pine File Locking".
     +  Support for news access via IMAP by proxying through the University
        of Washington-developed IMAP server; syntax:
        {IMAPservername}{newsservername/nntp}#news.newsgroupname
     +  E - Exit key used more consistently as way out of SETUP or SELECT
        screens
     +  Screen showing list of messages in a folder renamed from FOLDER INDEX
        to MESSAGE INDEX
     +  pico -h option to display current command line options & current
        version
     +  Multilingual searching of the following character sets supported:
        US-ASCII, UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-2, ISO-8859-3, ISO-8859-4,
        ISO-8859-5, ISO-8859-6, ISO-8859-7, ISO-8859-8, ISO-8859-9,
        ISO-8859-10, ISO-8859-13, ISO-8859-15, ISO-2022-JP, ISO-2022-KR,
        ISO-2022-CN, ISO-2022-JP-1, ISO-2022-JP-2, GB2312 (alias CN-GB),
        CN-GB-12345, BIG5 (alias CN-BIG5), EUC-JP, EUC-KR, Shift_JIS,
        KOI8-R, KOI8-U (alias KOI8-RU), TIS-620, VISCII.
        All ISO-2022-?? charsets are treated identically, and support
        ASCII, JIS Roman, hankaku katakana, ISO-8859-[1 - 10], TIS, GB
        2312, JIS X 0208, JIS X 0212, KSC 5601, and planes 1 and 2 of CNS
        11643. EUC-JP includes support for JIS X 0212 and hankaku
        katakana.
     +  Pico 255 character line length limit: wrap instead of truncate
     +  Numerous bug fixes

 *  Not yet done in 4.02

PC-Pine Notes

PC-Pine 4.02 is available for 32 bit Windows only. And while it is not a
full GUI Windows application, it supports numerous GUI amenities,
including: tool bar, scroll bar, pull-down menus, expanded mouse support,
etc.

New in PC-Pine 4.00:

 *  Built-in LDAP directory service support.

 *  Remote addressbook support. The addressbook can be stored on an IMAP
    server, so it can be accessed from different computers running Unix
    Pine or PC-Pine 4.02. See Setup/AddressBooks screen for more details.

 *  POP support (though not in traditional offline mode).

 *  Built-in spell checking.

 *  Full READ-WRITE access to local Unix-style folders.

Additional notes:

 *  While message folders may be either local or remote, Pine's support
    files must, generally speaking, be located on your PC's local disk.
    These files include Pine's configuration file (PINERC), signature
    file (PINE.SIG), postponed and interrupted message folders, debug
    files and newsgroup configuration file (NEWSRC). There are, however,
    two exceptions.

    The postponed messages folder can be defined in the Setup/Config to
    be on an IMAP server. This allows it to be accessible from both Unix
    Pine and PC-Pine thus allowing you to, for example, begin composing a
    message in Unix Pine, postpone it, and resume its composition later
    with PC-Pine, provided that both Pine configurations specify the same
    postponed messages folder location. For example:

                 {myIMAPhost.myschool.k12.wa.us}mail/postponed

    It's also possible, depending on your local system configuration, to
    arrange remote access to your NEWSRC as well. The advantage, as with
    the postponed message folder, is that both Unix Pine and PC-Pine can
    refer to the same information. See the Main Menu's help text section
    on "Reading News" for more information.

 *  The PC-Pine message folder format 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. This format is
    supported in Unix Pine as well.

          ____________________________________________________________

Configuration

  Configuration precedence

There are several levels of Pine configuration. Configuration values at a
given level override corresponding values at lower levels. In order of
increasing precedence:

 *  built-in defaults
 *  system-wide pine.conf file
 *  personal .pinerc file (may be set via built-in Setup/Config menu.)
 *  command-line options
 *  system-wide pine.conf.fixed file

There is one exception to the rule that configuration values are replaced
by the value of the same option in a higher-precedence file: the
feature-list variable has values that are additive, but can be negated by
prepending "no-" in front of an individual feature name. Note, this is
done automatically for you when you change these values via the
Setup/Config command.

  File name defaults

Notes:


<exe dir> = directory where pine.exe found.
<pinerc dir> = directory where pinerc found.
* = default file name is overridable in pinerc.
$HOME, if not explicitly set, defaults to root of the current drive.
$MAILCAPS, if set, is used in lieu of the default mailcap search paths.
+ between the mailcap paths implies that the two files are combined.
; between other default paths implies that the first one found is used.

Pine looks for most support files in the same directory it finds its
personal configuration file (pinerc). The -p command-line flag may be
used to specify a particular path name for the pinerc file. If a pinerc
file does not exist, it will be created (if directory permissions allow).
In PC-Pine, if -p or $PINERC are not defined, Pine will look in
$HOME\PINE and the directory containing the PINE.EXE. If a PINERC file
does not exist in either one, it will create one in the first of those
two directories that is writable. In detail:

  Mailcap files

Pine honors the mailcap configuration system for specifying external
programs for handling attachments. The mailcap file maps MIME attachment
types to the external programs loaded on your system which can display
and/or print the file. A sample mailcap file comes bundled with the Pine
distribution. It includes comments which explain the syntax you need to
use for mailcap. With the mailcap file, any program (mail readers,
newsreaders, WWW clients) can use the same configuration for handling
MIME-encoded data.

  MIME-Types files

Pine uses mime-types files (.mime.types or MIMETYPE) to determine what
Content-Type to use for labeling an attached file, based on the file
extension. That is, this file provides a mapping between filename
extensions and MIME content-types.

  Environment variables

PC-Pine uses the following environment variables:

  PINERC      (Optional path to pinerc file.)
  PINECONF    (Optional path to global pine config file.)
  HOME
  TMP or TEMP
  COMSPEC
  MAILCAPS    (A semicolon delimited list of path names to mailcap files.)

Unix Pine uses the following environment variables:

  TERM        (Tells Pine what kind of terminal is being used.)
  DISPLAY     (Determines if Pine will try to display IMAGE attachments.)
  SHELL       (If not set, default is /bin/sh )
  MAILCAPS    (A colon delimited list of path names to mailcap files)
