Come to think of it - install MkLinux and dump MacOS.
Why do Pine *developers* have tabs in their sig and no sigdashes? IDGI.

MacOS X is a unix system. I don't know if there is a binary, but it
shouldn't be hard to compile. If he absolutely must have a
pre-compiled version, asking in one of the comp.sys.next* groups would
probably be the thing to do.

I don't know, but it probably explains pine's lack of support for the
sigdash, don't you think?

Speaking for myself only, this developer doesn't want to be bothered with
keeping up with every latest bit of political correctness, that's why.
I've used "-- Mark --" for 25 years, and have gotten just a bit too old,
cranky, and set in my ways to change now.

Have you looked at the Pine configuration screen to see whether or not
there's support for it? Look in the composer and reply preferences in any
reasonably recent version of Pine.
Just because a developer doesn't use every space cadet feature doesn't
mean that the program doesn't have it. In my own personal Pine
configuration, I only have about 1/4 of the features turned on.
Sometimes, I don't want the feature (e.g include-attachments-in-reply).
Other times, I don't know about the feature. I know vaguely what
sigdashes are all about, and I know that Pine does them if enabled. But
that feature has never seemed to me to be important enough to take the
time to look at it.
Part of this is because I don't work on the user interface at all; my job
is to work on the mail file management and network protocol code. I hope
that you would rather have me worrying about doing my job right, and not
play with space cadet features.

Damn, a mini-flame from Mark.
Mark, dude, sig-dashes are not, as you refer to it, a "space cadet
feature"
bah. Whatever.
pine sucks.
