Actually it's "Pine is no-longer Elm." About twelve years ago I wrote
an essay entitled "Elm Considered Harmful;" most of the reasons still
seem to apply today.

I did a quick google search on that phrase, turning up no matches. Do you still
have it somewhere?
Back when I was first trying out Grex I tried pine and didn't like it.
(From what my dad said the last time I was home, Red Hat Fedora Core no longer
ships with Elm.)

It's item 116 in jellyware. Mind the cobwebs.

Ah. I'll go look; I was bored a couple of days ago and did a "r all" in
jellyware but didn't get that far.

All right, I've read it. I can agree with some of your criticisms, but I've
gotten the habits needed to use elm in my fingers, and I've also got 58
megabytes of old messages on my Linux box in elm mailbox format.

(And "man pine" implies it stands for "a Program for Internet News and Email.")

That's because they pointy-haired it for the suits.
Even if distro x does not include program y, it can always be downloaded from
server z in source form; sorry, but "./configure && make && make install" is
NOT hard.

Unless there is some next-level config I haven't set up, the only headers mail
lets you edit via ~h are Subject: To: Cc: and Bcc:

I've tried out Pine, and it a) appears to have some features I could definitely
use but b) still has the (IMO) counterproductive interface. I've now installed
it (along with mh) on my Linux box.

Go to that link and type D and then decide where to save it to.

Re #84: Yes, but I had even more trouble with it. Pine is usable, just
backwards in the way the user has to do things; Mutt I couldn't even get to
work.

Try reading the instructions for mutt. It worked for me on my computer. At
grex it kept moving all my mail to some other place on exit.

Re #89: I followed what instructions I had. (IIRC this was in some point when I
was on the residence hall network here but for some reason was using
BasicLinux.) What I *wanted* to do was set it up to connect to the college mail
server (which uses IMAP) like Evolution or other graphical mail clients would,
but I couldn't get it to work at all.

I don't think Mutt does IMAP, but Pine does.

re resp:86: I can't point to the picture I want to download (in Lynx).
When I use "D" it saves a .gz file so I think I am not pointing at the
image correctly. Are there images on some pages which cannot be viewed?

re #95: a .gz file is probably compressed with gzip.

Yep. It was a gzip-compressed file. The contents were not an image.

My Deskwriter 540 seems to have died. I would like to get a replacement
inkjet printer that will print only black, or if it can also print color
will work without a color cartridge in it, and uses a black cartridge that
can be refilled. Neither of these specs are noted in the descriptions of
any printers I have looked at on online merchants.
It must also work with Macs....although this is generally true of all
printers with USB interfaces. (An ethernet interface would be even better,
but printers with those seem to be pretty pricey.)
A laser printer isn't out of the question but an inkjet is most
satisfactory and certainly cheaper.
Any suggestions?
