I am a developer in the Unix world, and I use Pine all day long
because I'm used to work in Console windows. Graphical stuff is nice,
but mostly degrades your performance because the most GUI makers don't
pay attention to keyboard shortcuts.

This doesn't mean Pine is perfect - it has its shortcomings - but it
is the best Console based Mail User Agent I've come to see yet.

Regards,

Guido
