Subject: What is a good version of Pine for a Sparc running 4.1.3?

Hi All,
   I have just reconfigured my Sparc, and I would like to get a nicer
mailer agent.  I have heard a bit about Pine before, and I'd like to
pull it down and compile it.  For SunOS 4.1.3, what would be the most
"stable" version.  I don't need a lot of fancy features, just a better
mailer than /bin/mail.  Also, where do I get it and are there any gotchas
for SunOS 4.1.3?

Thanks,
Ted

We've been running Pine 3.90 for SunOS 4.1.3, and 4.1.1, 4.1.2, Sol 2.3 
on Sparcs with good results. 

We've just moved up to 3.91 which has improved the speed for starting Pine
and are waiting (along with the masses) for Pine 3.92. 

No gotchas to mention, maybe just be aware when you're compiling that debug
mode is on by default. You may want to turn this off eventually because it
tends to create debug files. 

David.
