Correct, but not easily, I think. For my own site ( http://dr.jones.dk/
) I fought to make danish the prime one.

But hey - that was some time ago, so may be hurt by same syndrome as
"old Plone is shitty, upcoming eZ Publish sounds better". But I track
CVS of the debian-www code so I don't think so.

If you by "people" in this context mean "non-geeks" then we still need
to see about that :-P

Ahh - used to do that myself, so understand how hard it can be to let go.

Personally I haven't yet found the good alternative, but have so far
switched to Mozilla Thunderbird (which is frustrating: can't get rid of
the slow GUI and there's no Powerbook-friendly shortcut for "delete").

On the other hand, as the Debian maintainer of uw-imap, I know how
crappy the code beneath pine is - which was my main motivation to run
away screaming from it.
