I agree that PC-Pine 4.10 works quite well but it does not support the
pipe command, sending filters, or display filters, and so, for
example, you can not easily use PGP with PC-Pine. Another useful Pine
utility to port would be mbxcvt, which is a tool for converting folder
formats. If I were a programmer, *I* would port Unix Pine 4.10 and its
utilities to Cygwin. If anyone wants info on setting up and optimizing
PC-Pine, check out my page about this at:

If anyone is inspired to port mail tools, in addition to Pine, I'd
love a port of procmail so I could use it to post-process message
folders.
Thanks,
