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.

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
