I'm genuinely curious to read that book. I used pine until about 2004 before I lost access to it and migrated to webmail more or less permanently. Perhaps my email usage is plain compared to yours? I still fire up Thunderbird to archive my mail, but that's it. I still pine for pine sometimes (I couldn't resist), but I have to imagine some of that is rose colored glasses.

- twic 9y agoI started using Pine at university, and still do. Trying out Mutt has been on my to-do list for almost twenty years now.
- stinkytaco 9y agoI started using it when I was in school (probably around 7th grade) and we were given shell accounts on a server somewhere. I used it that way until I left university in 2004. After that I needed to set up a new email account and started using webmail. I also wasn't regularly telneting into a shell so didn't really have access. The things that made it really good: threading, keywords (basically tags), and keyboard navigation were done pretty well in gmail. It also had good filtering. But I feel like I need support for images and HTML, even if I hate those things in email.
