It seems I remember someone talking about working on an X version of Pine.
Is that true?

Thanks!

A Motif-interface version is under work. As my boss has forced me into
doing some real work for the company, it will take some time before I
can do an initial release. Several weeks maybe. Depends on how busy my
'real work' makes me (and my girlfriend :-).

Anyone who has a Hewlett-Packard HP9000/73x workstation, can have a binary
executable demo-version. It is 193737 bytes gzip'ed, and very incomplete.
But you can use it to read mail and get an idea of the look-and-feel.
What you can't do yet is to send mail or update the addressbook or
modify the folder/collection lists. You can however browse the addressbook
and the folder/collection lists. You can view/save/delete/print messages.

If I can come up with an easy & quick solution to get the interface to
work under Tcl/Tk, I will do this, as the portability problems would be
reduced significantly. You wouldn't need to have Motif-library for example.
It would be easy to modify the interface.
