Pine mail readerNote To use the pine mail reader you must have the pine software package installed.The pine mail reader is another full-screen mail reader, but it offers many more features than does mutt.Withpine, you can manage multiple mail folders.You can also manage newsgroup messages, as well as mailmessages.As text-based applications go, pine is quite easy to use.It was developed by a group at theUniversity of Washington for use by students on campus, but has become widely used in UNIX and Linuxenvironments.Start this mail program by typing pine.The following menu is displayed, from which you can make aselection by typing the associated letter or using up and down arrows and pressing Enter:?
