separation of messages
The pine program reads the inbox file and shows the first line of each message. How does the Pine identify the beginning of a new message in the file? dima (talk) 11:02, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * pine reads standard mbox files, whose format is known. Basically, the start of a message is identified by a line beginning with "From ". StaticSan (talk) 04:40, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Mac Pine?
I heard of a program called MacPine, but there doesn't seem to be an article about in Wikipedia.

The main article could be improved if there were a reference to MacPine. Contributions/216.99.198.199 (talk) 19:32, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Date
I wonder if the university web site might be incorrect on the 1989 date. I distinctly remember using PINE on a university UNIX machine in the mid 80s. I was in Africa in the Peace Corps from October 1987 to the end of '89. So there's no way I used it then. - Parsa (talk) 01:44, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

"inspired" Pico?
its message editor inspired the text editor Pico Pico = Pine composer. Pine's message editor didn't inspire Pico, it is Pico.--88.73.51.230 (talk) 22:27, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Pine was sure a hell of a lot better than the disgusting outlook express that was forced on everyone. Dirty crooks.2602:306:CFC8:DDB0:789C:DF19:596A:C06C (talk) 05:17, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
