There are two versions of pine-3.91 on my system.  We use the
pine-3.91.tar.gz file which is compiled for use with smail-3.1.29 (a
real sendmail replacement -- no MMDF mailboxes), and the other is compiled
for use with stock SCO MMDF and was contributed by Gunter Anderson.

The non-mmdf system works fine reading either mmdf or bsd style
mailboxes, and by default sends mail via the sendmail interface
on the local system.  If you set smtp-server=hostname in your .pinerc
file it will use SMTP instead of sendmail (smail-3.1).  Of course this
won't work if you don't have TCP/IP on your system.

: Elm works fine here.  Standard mail works, too.  I understand that Pine

The I in pine doesn't have anything to do with networking (Pine is not
Elm :-).
