[Thinkpad] SCO?? [was: PINE [was: ENOUGH.....]]

[Colgrove, George]

I do not really want to spin this conversation out of bounds even
farther then it already is, but I need to know.  Has SCO departed from
its natural litigate nature and returned to developing software?  Or is
it still being funded by Microsoft in the attempt to take out Linux in
the courts?  I was watching it for a while and got bored with it.

Sorry,

George W. Colgrove III

I used to use ELM, but installed PINE on SCO Xenix and UNIX systems I
sold (when I was doing that), because it was more user friendly than
ELM. I now use MUTT on my SCO OpenServer 6 system (highly recommended). 

BTW, PINE is no longer developed, being replaced by ALPINE (and the
security issues are being addressed).

I'm going to see what mutt-ng is like, due to that warning, but I'll try
pine anyway if people really think it's worth it.
