Subject: wish for 4.0: pgp-awareness

I hate it, when Pine says:

  [Part 1, Application/PGP  667bytes]
  [Cannot display this part. Press "V" then "S" to save in a file]

So I added the following line in my .mailcap:

application/pgp; cat %s; copiousoutput

So now pine says:

  [Part 1, Application/PGP  667bytes]
  [Not Shown. Use the "V" command to view or save this part]

and I have to type vv to finally view the message. This is still a crutch!
Or is there another way? (apart from hacking pine)

I know this has been said before, but I'll say it again:

PLEASE make pine 4.0 pgp-aware.

How about making PINE-4.0 publically available?  That's all I'm
hoping for at this point, some 3 months after being told that it
was "nearing completion".

Don't push. They aren't M$. Pine works now. It's also very cheap.
Wanna push for 4.0? Pull some source code an make sure it compiles with no
warnings, despite all warnings being enabled on your compiler.

Don't let the purple headed chicken eat the hairy fish.

I'll be happy if it compiles at all under my OS (OpenStep).  My
guess is that I will have to compile it under NeXTStep.  I've made
sure that pine/pico/pilot all compile before, and made them available
for those who prefer precompiled binaries.

Of course, that's all for 3.9x.... I don't have access to any 4.0 code to  
see whether or not that compiles.

There's a very enlighting article about engineering free software:

I wonder if the pine developers could do it the 'Bazaar' way.
