Not so fast. For programs which run in xterms and take over the mouse
buttons, it is usually the case (perhaps even unavoidable) that you can
get the usual xterm cut-and-paste behavior by holding down the <shift>
key while you press the mouse button.

It already exists for x-windows.  Read PINE's online help for 
enable-mouse-in-xterm.  As for PC-PINE, I'm uncertain.

You can do pseudo-threading by selecting OrderedSubj under sort-key in
Setup/Config.  Will PINE actually create threads like Tin in future
versions?  I don't know, but it wouldn't be a bad feature, especially for
active Tin users since they are use to reading posts via threads.

Hmm .. With my window manager (olvwm), when I enable this feature, I can
select the message I want to read, with the mouse. If I double-click, It
automatically displays me the message. BUT I can't mark a few lines from the
message display and paste in another xterm. Are you able to do that ? How ?

Online Release Notes talks about the feature. And it appears to be available
only for X/Motif users ? (olvwm is OpenLook)

I cut and paste with a mouse all the time.  Solaris 2.X running xterms.

Get a real newsreader.  However I do not like real threading and am happy
with a real newsreader, nn, that does not do threading.
