Pine works just fine on MacOS X. It is a full {Free|Net|Open}BSD userland, with a Mach kernel, plus some Apple proprietary I/O subsystems for things like the filesystem.

So, saying "I use pine" is not necessarily mutually exclusive with "Try Eudora". -- Brad Knowles, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
