In 2006, the University of Washington announced that it
stopped development of Pine with Pine 4.64, although Pine continues to
be supported. In its place is a new family of email tools based upon
Pine, called Alpine and licensed under the Apache License, version 2.
November 29, 2006 saw the first public alpha release, which forms a
new approach since the alpha test of Pine was always non-public.
Not quite so new Mike..
And alpine has maildir patch option in FreeBSD ports. :)
