	Many moons ago, I used to use Pine at my university. But then,
	they installed qmail and I switched to Maildir delivery
	instead of Mailbox delivery.

	Pine wasn't able to read it, but Mutt supported that natively.
	I then switched to Mutt, configured it with approximately the
	same keybindings as Pine and the switch was smooth.

	Of course, I was pleasantly surprised how much more advanced
	Mutt was and I even tried (and succeeded) evangelizing some
	friends to use it. It is funny to see that only now Pine is
	having features that Mutt has had for many years.

	I'm a happy mutt user for a long time. I even use it when I'm
	using a Mac (with MacOS X).

	I think that I can put my muttrc files somewhere, if they
	would help other other people.


	[]s, Roger...
