No, just intractable. Also, Pine seems to be rather termcap-spendy. On slower
links elm is snappier (like, say, a Commodore 64 with a 2400bps modem, which
was how I read E-mail on my unix server for a very long time; nowadays I have
a UDS-10 and that's much quicker).

So do I. A shame the Pine vs. Elm wars never reached the fever pitch of vi
vs. emacs. By the way, emacs users wear combat boots. ^_^
