Pine
What is Pine?
Electronic mail (email) allows you to communicate quickly and easily
with colleagues on campus and around the world. The use of email is
rapidly increasing, changing teaching, learning, research, health
care, business, and administration. Pine is a sophisticated yet
easy-to-use email program that was created at the University of
Washington with the specific goal of being responsive to new email
users. Pine offers:
- On-Screen Menus and Messages: Pine displays your options in menus
at the bottom of each screen, so you do not need to memorize
commands. On-screen messages appear on a line above the command menu
to give you warnings or information as you make a choice.
- Online HELP: Help is instantly available to provide information
about the task you are performing.
- Built-in Emacs-like Editor
- Built-in USENET News reader.
