Hi all.

I've just uploaded Pine 4.60 for OS/2 to Hobbes. This is a revised  port
that brings the OS/2 version closer to the Unix and NT versions. It  has
become fairly stable in testing over the past year or so but  nonetheless
it may introduce some new issues that weren't in Pine 4.58.

 http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/internet/mail/reader/pine460.zip

In particular, either the bugs are getting harder or I am getting stupider
because there are some bugs that I wasn't able to fix between 4.58 and
4.60 being released:

 * crash when composing mail if IMAP addressbooks are present but
   unopened (also a 4.58 bug)

 * crash when accessing Unix-format mailboxes (I have one report of
   this working okay but it doesn't work for me)

 * intermittent crashes with very large mailboxes (also a 4.58 bug)

 * SSL/TLS is untested

Some people may prefer to stick with Pine 4.58 until Pine 4.6x gets
smoothed out, but 4.60 is working fine for everyday e-mail for me.

Because of the problem with Unix-format mailboxes, I haven't yet made a
binary distribution of the UW POP3 and IMAP servers though they can be
compiled using the source code patches available from the OS/2 Pine site.
If anyone is interested I can send you the executables  privately. I will
make them publically available once I have fixed the  Unix-format bug.

As usual, all the most recent information about and source code for Pine
for OS/2 is available from my web site at
