[[Image:PINE.png|right|thumb|This is what the PINE interface looks like.]]
PINE is a way of checking your e-mail using the "command line" rather than a web browser. Highly popular, Unless you are a *nix nerd (and thus already know the standard way for students to check their e-mail in intricacies of PINE and are probably running the pastlatest nightly build of Alpine on your MINIX box), it has since decreased in usage and popularityis utterly pointless. This article exists merely as an anachronistic reference to bygone days. The last class to use PINE more than the web-based IMP [[Email#Webmail|webmail]] was the [[Special:Category:Class_of_2004|Class of 2004]]. Why it took otherwise intelligent Williams students until then to realize that other forms of retrieving e-mail are vastly superior in both functionality and ease of use is a mystery.
==How to use PINE==
In Terminal, go to Preferences. Click on the Declare terminal type ($TERM) pop-up menu to change to vt100.
====Hacks/workarounds====
When ssh'ing into the unix servers using [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ PuTTY], when you copy something in your normal windows program (firefox, word, etc.) just right click in putty to paste it in. Also, you can copy and paste lines in PINE by cutting with ctrl-K, and then "uncutting" with ctrl-U.
