Subject: Pine 3.91/IMAP using rsh instead of imapd

I am running Linux and just installed pine 3.91 and I am having problems 
when trying to do the following....

pine -f {mailhost.primenet.com}/var/mail/cj

It tries to do a rsh command to mailhost.primenet.com.  This is the 
command that it is trying to exec...

rsh mailhost.primenet.com exec /etc/rimapd

It hangs for a long time and times out.  I have access to mailhost and 
there is no program called /etc/rimapd, nor is it in any other directory.

If I use the pine 3.91 on another machine, it works fine.  It logs into 
the imapd and gets my mail.  It just does not work on my Linux machine.  
I there something that I need to reset or delete from my old 3.89 
settings, I have tried to delete the .pinerc files, and still no help.

I was told that pine 3.91 fixes this problem.  Can anyone give me assistance?

You can force Pine to skip trying rsh by changing the above command to

	pine -f {mailhost.primenet.com:143}/var/mail/cj

or better yet

	pine -f {mailhost.primenet.com:143}INBOX
