I found a program to do so,  it's called PC-Pine.  To download ftp to:

	HOST:	uceng.uc.edu
	DIR:	pub/wuarchive/packages/mail/pine/msdos
	FILE:	pcpine_p.zip

I tried it however it asks for Packet Driver, which yet I don't have.

I downloaded a pc-pine, too, and get the message:

PC/TCP resident module is not loaded; aborting program...

All I want to do is read in the mail file I downloaded. Isn't there a way 
to do that? That's the kind of offline mail reading I would like to be 
able to do.

to read mail (not write...) offline, assuming you have a dos sys, use 
"readmail". very good program, and couldn't be cheaper... it's freeware...

Offline, with my old xt i use readmail to read and I write with pico 
(that cames with the pine.zip. pine won't work as offline, but pico works 
anyway). The advantage of readmail is that works even if I download many 
folders created with pine.

Try: brolga.cc.uq.oz.au Location: /POPmail/readmail.exe
      File -rw-r--r--    57312 1991 Jul 14 00:00:00 GMT readmail.exe

It works, it's slow, kind of hokey, but like they said, free!

Follow up to what I wrote yesterday... Pine and PCPine requires an active 
conection to a mail server... (being sendmail or whatever else in your 
network...) thereafter *pine is not an offline reader*.
But... with readmail I'm quite happy... of course not all the features 
that one would love... but improving all the time (I just dowl. ver. 4.1, 
a great improvement... I can now open several "folders" at the same time...)

for those who want to check it out is, for some strange reason, under the 
subdirectory of "textutil" in any of de SimTel ms-dos mirrors.

I do not now if it is allowable, but I will like to "post" the zip here 
(after all is freeware, and as far as i now is the *only* offline reader 
that we, dos users, can use when not connected with the unix...)
