Subject: Q: pine & ansi

I've been experimenting with pine lately, looking for a replacement
to SUN's Xwindows based mail tool. A problem I have is that pine
works good within a SUN shell window, but when I execute it within
telnet login window (over PPP), I get the following termination
error message:

"Your terminal, of type "ansi", is lacking functions needed to run
pine."

Is ANSI truly inadequate for pine?

BTW, my termcap and terminfo setting for ANSI are virtually the same
as they are for VT100.
