+Pine for FreeBSD 2.x is a tool for reading, sending, and managing
+electronic messages. It was designed specifically with novice
+computer users in mind, but can be tailored to accommodate the needs
+of "power users" as well. Pine uses Internet message protocols (e.g.
+RFC-822, SMTP, MIME, IMAP, NNTP) and runs on Unix and PCs. This
+package also includes the Pico editor, the IMAP daemon, a POP2 server,
+and a POP3 server.
+
+If you want to use the spell checking feature of pine, set the
+environment variable SPELL to "/usr/local/bin/ispell -l".
+
+An optional configuration file "pine.conf" can be put into /usr/local/etc
+to set system wide defaults. The format of this file is identical to the
+.pinerc file that is auto-generated by pine in your home directory.
+
+Also included in dot.pinerc.pgp.sample are example entries needed to
+add to your .pinerc to activate the pgp add on scripts pgpdecode,
+pgpencode, and pgpsign.
