This a problem that I have ask about before. When I get mails from user
of MS Exchange or outlook and they have the edit setup to be ms word
then I can get the email and read it but it has trash at the end. I have
call exchange support and I was told that this was fixed in pine 4.0
here is the test of message the I got from exchange support. It seems
that the people at Exchange support are wrong and I need to call and
tell that.

thanks Marty

Hello,
	I am a support engineer for Microsoft that has a customer that
is
experiencing problems with the Pine 3.96 client running on a R6000
terminal.
The problem exists using RTF format of Exchange messages to the Pine
email
system. The customer is interested in trying the Pine 4.0 email client
to
see if the problem still exists. There was a link on the page below,
that
says you can get it here, but the URL is no longer active. Do you know
where
I may find it now? Any help would be deeply appreciated.

for anyone who liked the features of Pine 1.0 (Linux97 
or Slackware98)you can download Pine 4.0 preview 
release 2 which has most of the new features. I already have it 
and I've had no problems.

Dear Everett,

thank you for choosing a Microsoft product. We appreciate your information
about MS Exchange's inability to create an RFC-compliant mail format. We are
painfully aware of MS Exchange's shortcomings and are currently working on
an upgrade which will be available shortly. It will be a trimmed version of
MS Exchange and will probably called "mail" for obvious reasons. Since our
R&D team have recently found that the use of a GUI for a mail application in
fact decreases the program's user friendliness, "mail" will be run at the
command line prompt. We envision a simple syntax for the use of "mail", e.g.
"mail [email-masked]". In order to make it RFC-compliant, it will not support
RTF, HTML, or binary attachments. "mail" will only run under NT, though, but
we will offer a special bundle price for the upgrade kit, which will also
include KerNeL! 98, Fdisk Plus and an improved version of Write
("WriteNow!"). 

Yours truly,

Robin S. Socha M.A.
CEO German Web Force

You don't think Robin has a minor dislike for Microsux Winblows products,
do you?  Did Bill Gates beat you as a child, Robin? Or do you just prefer 
real operating systems (Oh wait.. I forgot Win95 isn't an OS, but a GUI
for an OS.. oh wait, that was the original Winblows, I guess Win95 is
actually an OS, with a TUI (Textual User Interface, IE "MSDosPrompt" ;)
for those people who actually care what the computer is doing.. I'm so
confused..) :P~
