By default both Mutt and PINE use the so-called "mbox" format, so either one should be able to read mailboxes generated by the other.

Mutt has pretty reasonable defaults, so you are not _required_ to have a config file. It's just nice to change things to your personal liking. PINE is probably storing your spooled mail in a different location than Mutt does. If you can find the file, you can set the Mutt variable $mbox to point to that file. me --=20 pgp key available from http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~me/elkins-pgp-key.asc --bg08WKrSYDhXBjb5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE4tCj3eZTNL/fvVBURAjsTAJ9d8cQV9GytfLafu+/dNs6PuwvqgwCgp0CD qQHE+Ml0JHwJotyeWqD7aZo= =BFag -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --bg08WKrSYDhXBjb5-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
