What is the statis of security on PC-pine.  In particular, is anything 
planned for development that will prevent a user from walking up to a PC, 
running PC-pine and sending mail as the user logged into the PC?  

   Or, what are other sites doing to help prevent or curb this possibility?

Lisa,

We will continue to tune security on all versions of Pine, but there is not
much you can do to prevent someone with a desire from forging mail.  About
all we can do is not make it easier than it is without Pine. 

Thanks for the request!
