Pine (Version 4.64-3), Pico (Version 4.10), Pilot (Version 2.0)
Pine® - a Program for Internet News & Email - is a tool for reading, sending, and managing electronic messages. Pine was designed by the Office of Computing & Communications at the University of Washington specifically with novice computer users in mind, but it can be tailored to accommodate the needs of "power users" as well.
Pine's message composition editor, Pico, is also available as a separate stand-alone program. Pico is a very simple and easy-to-use text editor offering paragraph justification, cut/paste, and a spelling checker.
Pine's built-in file manager - used, for example, to select a file for retrieval into the body of a message being composed - is available as a stand-alone program for Unix hosts, called Pilot (for "Pine's Lister of Things").
