powerful, easy to use console email client

Alpine -- an Alternatively Licensed Program for Internet
News & Email -- is a tool for reading, sending, and managing
electronic messages.  Alpine is the successor to Pine and was
developed by Computing & Communications at the University of
Washington.
  Though originally designed for inexperienced email users,
Alpine supports many advanced features, and an ever-growing number of
configuration and personal-preference options.
Changes and enhancements over pine:
  * Released under the Apache Software License, Version 2.0.
  * Internationalization built around new internal Unicode support.
  * Ground-up reorganization of source code around new "pith/" core
routine library.
  * Ground-up reorganization of build and install procedure based on
GNU Build System's autotools.
