All you need to do is make sure Pine is configured properly, and it will get your email from an email server. If you expect it to get the mail from the local hard drive (which it does by default), you won't get any mail unless you also run sendmail/smail and have people send email to your workstation (I don't recommend this if you have a mail server someone else supports). > There are other questions which I'll have to dig though the man page to > try and find, such as, if I get a URL is there a simple way to copy it to > a browser to see the URL?

You also have to have "lynx" installed for this to work. -- Dave Dittrich Client Services dittrich@cac.washington.edu Computing & Communications University of Washington Dave Dittrich / dittrich@cac.washington.edu [PGP Key] .
