questions about text-based e-mail

Well, yes, pine--and-now alpine work well for reading news, or even grabbing 
yenc encoded binaries--and-I can certainly tell you about that if you like.
While pine or alpine can thread messages, I like to read an index of a news 
group in trn, however, we were hardly able to install in FC9.
Pine, well, sure you want to make changes, first disable menu at the bottom. 
Then 1 thing you cannot do in trn, but in pine you can change settings for how 
much quoting you will see.  I find that `extremely useful to have my quoting 
set a minus 10, so I hear none.  Hope that helps
