Agreed. But there are many times I find myself in an internet cafe where
that's not viable - this is the only time i use pine, but it is
invaluable then.
If the machine wasn't behind a firewall which prevented it (and isn't in
my control), I would set up an imap server on the machine together with
a web server and webmail application (squirrelmail or similar) for
remote mail access.
