Hi all,

Don't you think Pine 3.89 is already a very good and cool mailer ? I really
prefer to wait for release 3.90 rather than having to pay for an equivalent
mailer with weekly releases !!! Great job has already been done within Pine
I'm convinced the next release will be very satisfying too... even if coming
a little bit late !

Has someone tried (beta) X11 version of Pine called Spruce ?

Cheers
GB

I for one agree.  Pine 3.89 doesn't do everything we would like but it
does a lot of good things relative to other programs out there.  For the
price and the fact that the majority of our end-users don't have a great
need for all of the highly technical bells and whistles, I have never been
one to complain.  IMHO, I would rather wait a "few more weeks" for a good,
solid release than get an early, buggy one with frequent patches and
updates.  We put up with that too much in the MS-DOS, Windows, Mac
environment now days. 

Just my $.02 worth.  Rick Nebel.

Hmm... I never really thought of it that way, being the spoiled person I 
am.  I just want it to come out for my internet provider to tack it up, 
and then I can FLAG messages for once.. =)
