Steve Litt asks
- And most important, where can I find the best, most unambiguous Alpine documentation, that doesn't assume I know anything about Alpine?
The ~/.pinerc config file is well documented. There is a bewildering number of options, and you can tweak it just about anyway you like.
Choice of mail readers tend to a religious issue. Users of a particular reader will only change when you pry their cold dead fingers off of it.
Alpine is not a bad choice (I've been using it and it's predeccesor for decades), and I go through mail faster than most people I know as I can type faster than they can click buttons, scroll, and drag windows around. However, it sort of sucks when you read formatted mail HTML with lots of graphics).
