That is rude and foolish.

It's damm annoying to have to tell pine which to send to as it take this
config and puts classiccmp as the CC: and the poster as the TO:. On a
telnet link that trivial edit is really slow.

I do know how to run a mail client and I happen to run some odd ones for
my reasons. Pine can sort out the mess some but I access my ISP via a
telnet connection from the work isp. So happens the work ISP is really
poor and while I have a reliable 21.6k connection if I back up to edit
the screen updates seem to suddenly take MINUTES, no exaduration. To back
the cursor up it literally worse than editing on an old asr33!. If you
know how to speed that up I'm all ears. Oh, I have to use telnet as MY
ISP is in a different state and the only local access that would not use
telnet is 25miles away as a long distance call.

Now at home I run under W3.1 and use a nonwinsock based mailer (RFDmail)
as its fast and worked with the unix shell account I have. It happens to
not have group reply or the ability to sort out multiple from fields. Ok,
you call that broken but it does move a meg of mail faster than Eudora or
(gagme) netscape-mail and it's kin. I dont have to wait for trumpet
winsock to wind up first either. The payback, ALL emailable
viruses/trojans/worms are ineffective and can be safely recieved!
