   I used pine ten years ago even before I installed Linux.   
   My ISP grants shell access to their BSD servers and I found pine (via    
   Putty) to be an excellent mail client over bad connections and from    
   badly configured computers with restrictive policies.   
   Sure you have to read up a little but it's certainly not Difficult.   
      
   There are different types of new Linux users, some try it because they    
   are looking for a challenge, an adventure, some try it because they just    
   need a reliable and working system.   
      
   We can accommodate both.
