Subject: Pine 3.91 and mmdf (SCO).

Greetings!

Just pulled Pine 3.91 (from ftp.celestial.com compiled for SCO Unix 
3.2.4.x) and would like to use it on a stand alone system running mmdf.  
When I send mail from Pine, it doesn't seem to make it into the mail 
system for distribution.  I presume this is a function of Pine.

Elm works fine here.  Standard mail works, too.  I understand that Pine 
was written for use on networked systems (the 'i' in pine).  The most 
network these systems will see for some time is uucp (dialup).

Ideas?

There are two versions of pine-3.91 on my system.  We use the
pine-3.91.tar.gz file which is compiled for use with smail-3.1.29 (a
real sendmail replacement -- no MMDF mailboxes), and the other is compiled
for use with stock SCO MMDF and was contributed by Gunter Anderson.

The non-mmdf system works fine reading either mmdf or bsd style
mailboxes, and by default sends mail via the sendmail interface
on the local system.  If you set smtp-server=hostname in your .pinerc
file it will use SMTP instead of sendmail (smail-3.1).  Of course this
won't work if you don't have TCP/IP on your system.

The I in pine doesn't have anything to do with networking (Pine is not
Elm :-).
