Patches For Pine Going Away
Posted by kdawson on Sunday November 19, @05:35AM
from the pining-for-the-fjords dept.
The Internet
md8mart writes to let us know about the imminent shutdown of the site that
distributes Pine patches. From the RSS feed of Patches for Pine we read the
following bad news for all Pine users: "The Department of Mathematics of the
University of Washington will close the account that hosts my Patches for Pine
site. I would like to thank the Department of Mathematics for having hosted
this site for so many years. I do not have current plans to move this site,
but this site will disappear on December 15, 2006. Thank you to everyone who
supported me by positive feedback and encouragement to do this work through
the years. I will update this information as it becomes available."

I found this on the slashdot site and it seems to be accurate.
What, if anything, does Grex need to do about our use of Pine as an email
program?

Is pine still being updated? It seems as though the program is stable.

re #1: I don't think we need to do anything. It's not as though
pine has serious flaws that need to be patched every month.
