News Group Issues within Pine?

[Jude DaShiell]

shellworld.net has had alpine up and running for at least the last year.
  The alpine program is the one to file bugs against since only those with 
uwashington.edu accounts can file bugs against pine and get support.  The 
working arrangement is that pine is experimental software and intended as 
such.  Stuff that works in pine gets ported over to alpine and things that 
break in pine either get replaced or removed.  When something is broken in 
both packages, then file the bug against alpine and it'll likely get 
attention whether you have a uwashington.edu account or not.  This is the 
same strategy Okidata followed when manufacturing printers.  They used 
Japan as a test bed to make their mistakes and correct those mistakes and 
sold the models with the corrections to the rest of the world. On Sun, 19
