Classnotes | UNIX02 | RecentChanges | Preferences Showing revision 1 [Pine] is a console-based email client produced by the University of Washington. It is not OpenSource? or FreeSoftware?, and has many redistribution restrictions. However, for many UNIXes it is the default mail application. It is installed by default in Red Hat.
Red Hat, as well as many other Linux distributions, is presently moving away from Pine (partly due to legal restrictions and partly due to slow adoption of security fixes). In future versions of Red Hat, you may find that an alternative FreeSoftware? mail client, [Mutt] will replace Pine.
