Pine is slow on grex.  If people switch from pine to mail, they'd spend less
time waiting for grex, and grex would get more done with less CPU.  So we need
at least two things.  

A program that converts .addressbook entries to alias entries in .mailrc (and
a program to convert back would be nice too).  

A pine user's guide to mail.

Who wants to write the document?  How about the program?

Also, Ryan1 was working on a shell script a few months ago that wrapped a user
friendly interface around mail.  I should find out if he's done anything more
with it.

How can you keep them down in mail, when once they've seen gay pine?

Rane, I didn't know there were special versions of pine by sexual orientation.

Are you trying to needle me?

Somebody should really rewrite pine.  There is no reason for it to be
so much slower than mail.  Grephical interfaces do not take more CPU to
operate.
