DESCRIPTION

 Pine is a screen-oriented message-handling tool. In its
 default configuration, Pine offers an intentionally limュ
 ited set of functions geared toward the novice user, but
 it also has a growing list of optional "power-user" and
 personal-preference features. pinef is a variant of Pine
 that uses function keys rather than mnemonic single-letter
 commands. Pine's basic feature set includes:
 
 View, Save, Export, Delete, Print, Reply and Forュ
 ward messages.
 
 Compose messages in a simple editor (Pico) with
 word-wrap and a spelling checker. Messages may be
 postponed for later completion.
 
 Full-screen selection and management of message
 folders.
 
 Address book to keep a list of long or frequently-
 used addresses. Personal distribution lists may be
 defined. Addresses may be taken into the address
 book from incoming mail without retyping them.
 
 New mail checking and notification occurs automatiュ
 cally every 2.5 minutes and after certain commands,
 e.g. refresh-screen (Ctrl-L).
 
 On-line, context-sensitive help screens.
 
 Pine supports MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extenュ
 sions), an Internet Standard for representing multipart
 and multimedia data in email. Pine allows you to save
 MIME objects to files, and in some cases, can also initiュ
 ate the correct program for viewing the object. It uses
 the system's mailcap configuration file to determine what
 program can process a particular MIME object type. Pine's
 message composer does not have integral multimedia capaュ
 bility, but any type of data file --including multimedia--
 can be attached to a text message and sent using MIME's
 encoding rules. This allows any group of individuals with
 MIME-capable mail software (e.g. Pine, PC-Pine, or many
 other programs) to exchange formatted documents, spread-
 sheets, image files, etc, via Internet email.
 
 low-level message-handling functions, including drivers
 for a variety of different mail file formats, as well as
 routines to access remote mail and news servers, using
 IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) and NNTP (Network
 News Transport Protocol). Outgoing mail is usually
 handed-off to the Unix sendmail, program but it can
 optionally be posted directly via SMTP (Simple Mail Transュ
 fer Protocol).
 

OPTIONS

 The command line options/arguments are:
 
 address Send mail to address. This will cause
 Pine to go directly into the message
 composer.
 
 -attach file Send mail with the listed file as an
 attachment.
 
 -attachlist file-list
 Send mail with the listed file-list as
 an attachments.
 
 -attach_and_delete file
 Send mail with the listed file as an
 attachment, and remove the file after
 the message is sent.
 
 -aux local_directory
 PC-Pine only. When using a remote conュ
 figuration (-p <remote_config>) this
 tells PC-Pine the local directory to
 use for storing auxiliary files, like
 debug files, address books, and signaュ
 ture files.
 
 -bail Exit if the pinerc file does not
 exist. This might be useful if the
 config file is accessed using some
 remote filesystem protocol. If the
 remote mount is missing this will
 cause Pine to quit instead of creating
 a new pinerc.
 
 -c context-number context-number is the number correュ
 sponding to the folder-collection to
 which the -f command line argument
 should be applied. By default the -f
 argument is applied to the first
 defined folder-collection.
 
 -conf Produce a sample/fresh copy of the
 This is distinct from the per-user
 .pinerc file.
 
 -convert_sigs -p pinerc
 Convert signature files into literal
 signatures.
 
 -copy_abook <local_abook> <remote_abook>
 Copy the local address book file to a
 remote address book folder.
 
 -copy_pinerc <local_pinerc> <remote_pinerc>
 Copy the local pinerc file to a remote
 pinerc folder.
 
 -create_lu addrbook sort-order
 Creates auxiliarly index (look-up)
 file for addrbook and sorts addrbook
 in sort-order, which may be dont-sort,
 nickname, fullname, nickname-with-
 lists-last, or fullname-with-lists-
 last. Useful when creating global or
 shared address books. After creating
 the index file in this way, the file
 should be moved or copied in a way
 which preserves the mtime of the
 address book file. The mtime of the
 address book file at the time the
 index file was built is stored inside
 the index file and a comparison
 between that stored value and the curュ
 rent mtime of the address book file is
 done when somebody runs pine. If the
 mtime has changed since the index file
 was made, then pine will want to
 rebuild the index file. In other
 words, don't build the index file with
 this option and then copy the address
 book to its final destination in a way
 which changes the file's mtime.
 
 -d debug-level Output diagnostic info at debug-level
 (0-9) to the current .pine-debug[1-4]
 file. A value of 0 turns debugging
 off and suppresses the .pine-debug
 file.
 
 -d key[=val] Fine tuned output of diagnostic mesュ
 sages where "flush" causes debug file
 writing without buffering, "timestamp"
 appends each message with a timestamp,
 "imap=n" where n is between 0 and 4
 where n is between 0 and 31 correュ
 sponding to the number of debug files
 to maintain, and "verbose=n" where n
 is between 0 and 9 indicating an
 inverse threshold for message output.
 
 -f folder Open folder (in first defined folder
 collection, use -c n to specify
 another collection) instead of INBOX.
 
 -F file Open named text file and view with
 Pine's browser.
 
 -h Help: list valid command-line options.
 
 -i Start up in the FOLDER INDEX screen.
 
 -I keystrokes Initial (comma separated list of)
 keystrokes which Pine should execute
 on startup.
 
 -k Use function keys for commands. This
 is the same as running the command
 pinef.
 
 -n number Start up with current message-number
 set to number.
 
 -o Open first folder read-only.
 
 -p config-file Use config-file as the personal conュ
 figuration file instead of the default
 .pinerc.
 
 -P config-file Use config-file as the configuration
 file instead of default system-wide
 configuration file pine.conf.
 
 -pinerc file Output fresh pinerc configuration to
 file, preserving the settings of variュ
 ables that the user has made. Use
 file set to ``-'' to make output go to
 standard out. <IP> -registry cmd 20
 For PC-Pine only, this option affects
 the values of Pine's registry entries.
 Possible values for cmd are set,
 clear, and dump. Set will always
 reset Pine's registry entries accordュ
 ing to its current settings. Clear
 will clear the registry values. Dump
 will display the values of current
 registry settings. Note that the dump
 will write values into the registry
 only if there currently aren't any
 values set.
 
 -r Use restricted/demo mode. Pine will
 only send mail to itself and functions
 like save and export are restricted.
 
 -sort order Sort the FOLDER INDEX display in one
 of the following orders: arrival,
 date, subject, orderedsubj, thread,
 from, size, score, to, cc, or reverse.
 Arrival order is the default. The
 OrderedSubj choice simulates a
 threaded sort. Any sort may be
 reversed by adding /reverse to it.
 Reverse by itself is the same as
 arrival/reverse.
 
 -supported Some options may or may not be supュ
 ported depending on how Pine was comュ
 piled. This is a way to determine
 which options are supported in the
 particular copy of Pine you are using.
 
 -url url Open the given url. Cannot be used
 with -f, -F, or -attach options.
 
 -v Version: Print version information.
 
 -version Version: Print version information.
 
 -x config Use configuration exceptions in conュ
 fig. Exceptions are used to override
 your default pinerc settings for a
 particular platform, can be a local
 file or a remote folder.
 
 -z Enable ^Z and SIGTSTP so pine may be
 suspended.
 
 -option=value Assign value to the config option
 option e.g. -signature-file=sig1 or
 -feature-list=signature-at-bottom
 (Note: feature-list values are addiュ
 tive)
 

CONFIGURATION

 There are several levels of Pine configuration. Configuュ
 ration values at a given level over-ride corresponding
 values at lower levels. In order of increasing preceュ
 dence:
 o system-wide pine.conf file.
 o personal .pinerc file (may be set via built-in
 Setup/Config menu.)
 o command-line options.
 o system-wide pine.conf.fixed file.
 
 There is one exception to the rule that configuration valュ
 ues are replaced by the value of the same option in a
 higher-precedence file: the feature-list variable has valュ
 ues that are additive, but can be negated by prepending
 "no-" in front of an individual feature name. Unix Pine
 also uses the following environment variables:
 
 TERM
 DISPLAY (determines if Pine can display IMAGE
 attachments.)
 SHELL (if not set, default is /bin/sh )
 MAILCAPS (semicolon delimited list of path names to
 mailcap files)
