Subject: Off-Line PINE reader?

Is there an off-line PINE reader available? One that will
let me take all of my saved-messages and all that, download it to
my DOS system (non-networked), and read the letters one by one?
	I tried PC-PINE, but the version I got required that you
be linked to a network. I can read the messages as one big
text file, but I'd rather read them as individual letters, sorted,
is there a program that'll let me do this?

Offline support for Pine is on our to-do list as a moderately high 
priority project after Pine 3.90 is stable.

Yes fatman, there is... and is called Readmail... and it's *free* (like
pine)

is in any Simtel mirror site. the one that I use is oak.oakland.edu
if you have lynx or any www tool the http is
http://oak.oakland.edu/Simtel/msdos/textutil/
and the file name is RMAIL41.ZIP
with gopher you can conect at: gopher gopher.oak.oakland.edu
then choose #10, then #4 then #4 and then textutil and then rmail41.zip
or, you can ftp to oak.oakland.edu, and do all the cd's

btw, with readmail you can't trully "answer" your mail, but there are ways
around it. I do that anyway using readmail ability to copy the mail in
"answer format" (with >), and then I use pico, pine's editor that's included
in all of the pcpine packages... 
If you need more info, feel free to write to me...
