You make it sound like this is a Red Hat problem. Just to be clear, lack of
pine is not Red Hat's fault. It is WU's fault. Pine is not open source. If
it was I am sure it would be in the distro or extras.

Oh BTW mutt is NOT even close to being a replacment for pine. Not unless
you have never used pine and just want a text based MUA.

The closest thing I have been able to find to pine is something called cone [1].
So far though I keep going back to pine since that is what my fingers are
trained to use. :-)

Tom
