Sorry, did not want to start flame-war on pine... I've been using it
myself for about 10 years (on POP3).
But, nowadays there is no practical use: for local indoor use it is not
acceptable
due to its attachment handling, missing business/workgroup features like
calendar etc. For the outdoor mobile
use it is also a problem: most cell phones simply haven't got any ssh
terminal but have own IMAP clients.

My message was rather: is it good to stick with broken implementation of
server as a default just to support
some ancient clients or should we change the default behavior to be
consistent and use workaround to support
ancient clients ?
