Dead? Odd that it still runs fine on seven machines for me, all day every
day. Maybe someone forgot to tell it.
Seriously -- you're replying to a person who doesn't know (or at least
doesn't know all) about the setup-config files, and advising him to go
get an alpha?? Pine is as user-friendly as anything I can think of; but
begin with an alpha??
Btw, as you may have noticed, I *am* on that list -- and over 90% of the
discussion is over my head, after fifteen years of running Pine. (I skim
youss guyss's posts for what I can get.)
Dissenting advice to the OP : keep Pine 4.64, and bookmark the FAQs by
Eduardo Chappa, Gopi Sundaram, and Nancy McGough. Also, subscribe to
comp.mail.pine -- and to the Pinemasters' list, which is available via
Gmane. You can make good use of the time till Alpine is released, just
learning all the fine tricks Pine already has -- and most of them will
still work in Alpine.
