Well, you can't really get a definite answer.  Your question is asking
for an opinion, not a fact.  In any event, I do find Pine to be the best
program to use for e-mail and Usenet.  I can read my e-mail, read
newsgroup postings, see all my folders listed at once, and shell out to
the operating system when necessary - all done with the same program.
Pine is quite convenient for me, and it does a good job with Usenet
newsgroups (specifying OrderSubj sorting works great IMO).  Before I knew
about Pine, I used Elm for e-mail and tin for Usenet.  Yeah, this is
finicky, but I like it when I can do both e-mail and Usenet with the same
program.

Just opinions.....
