Subject: UNIX Pine future

I am just curious if anyone knows if there are future plans for an X-based
pine interface like the PC-Pine has.  I like the mouse functionality and
the "NOT-GUI" which it has.  

Thanks,
Chris.

Besides, you can run Pine in an x-window, and bang, pc-pine look-alike.

One of PINE's greatest assets is that it can be used from any glass
terminal, not requiring any particular graphical display, user interface,
mouse, &etc.  Even in today's world of cheap computers and the Internet,
the reality is that sometimes - and sometimes often - it is necessary
(or, to me, desirable) to NOT be forced to use a graphical interface.

Please DON'T expend any effort on putting a graphical user interface
on PINE.  Instead, continue to make it one of the best mail tools
there is, integrating technologies like encryption, more generalized
filters, &etc.  Adding a graphical interface will draw vast amounts
of time away from the core of the program.
