Are there any plans for a system-wide address book?  It would be nice if 
users could access both their private address book and a system-wide one.
Sorry if this something that has already be hashed through.

Yes!!!  A future version of Pine will have support for system-wide 
addressbooks, as well as remote IMAP and IMSP addressbooks and 
probably X.500 directory services.

Just to set expectations properly:
  -system-wide address books will probably happen before directory svcs;
  -x.500 has not yet been declared the winner in the d.s. sweepstakes...

I agree!  To me this would be the most useful enhancement to the Pine
*mailer*.  News reading, MS Windows, endless folders and other stuff just
isn't as important... to me anyway.
