Dead? Odd that it still runs fine on seven machines for me, all day every 
day. Maybe someone forgot to tell it.

Seriously -- you're replying to a person who doesn't know (or at least 
doesn't know all) about the setup-config files, and advising him to go 
get an alpha?? Pine is as user-friendly as anything I can think of; but 
begin with an alpha??

Btw, as you may have noticed, I *am* on that list -- and over 90% of the 
discussion is over my head, after fifteen years of running Pine. (I skim 
youss guyss's posts for what I can get.)

Dissenting advice to the OP : keep Pine 4.64, and bookmark the FAQs by 
Eduardo Chappa, Gopi Sundaram, and Nancy McGough. Also, subscribe to 
comp.mail.pine -- and to the Pinemasters' list, which is available via 
Gmane. You can make good use of the time till Alpine is released, just 
learning all the fine tricks Pine already has -- and most of them will 
still work in Alpine.
