I was trying to use PC-Pine as an offline mailreader, so I download one of 
the network versions that was at ftp.cac.washington.edu.  For some
reason the PC-Pine doesn't recognize the unix mail folders that I 
downloaded as a valid mail folder.  Does the PC-Pine use a different
format for its mail folders and is there a way to convert unix mail
folders to PC?  Thanx

Joshua,

Yes, PC-Pine does use a different folder format.  The next version of 
Unix Pine will include support for the MTX format used in PC-Pine, but 
that is only a small part of making Pine a reasonable offline mail 
reader.  We will be working on the necessary changes over the next 
few releases of Pine.

Thanks for the request!
