Pine vs mutt

[Lorenzo Taylor]

For those who still wish to use pine, I would rather recommend alpine.
It is the recoded open-source version of pine and behaves nearly
identically. The difference is that alpine is open-source, newer and
still maintained by its developers, who are the same people who brought
us pine. The other main difference is that it is included in Debian and
Ubuntu. It can be installed by using apt-get, so you don't have to
download a .deb package from elsewhere.

Live long and prosper,
Lorenzo
