[CLUE-Tech] my beloved pine and pico

[Mike Staver]

Right.  I can install them myself, I just prefer knowing my way around a 
"default" distro that I use for my servers at work and at home.  If Pine 
is being phased out, I'm saddened, but I will try to learn something 
else.  Mutt sounds good - I'll give it a shot.  Then, Joe sounds good if 
it's like pico.  Thanks to everyone for the advice, I'll try to learn 
some new software here.
