I love using Pine, in fact, I'm using right now with imap. I can sort the
messages into threads just like Thunderbird and try to catch up with this
list :-). Once you learn all the keys it's a breeze to use (although I
sometimes mess up and use the keys from tin....)
Plus I like how I can use it anywhere I can get a ssh connections, and
it's really snappy even on dial up.
