+Pine 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/pkg/bin/ispell -l".
+
+An optional configuration file "pine.conf" can be put into /usr/pkg/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 /usr/pkg/share/examples/pine/dot.pinerc.pgp.sample are
+example entries needed to add to your .pinerc to activate the pgp add on
+scripts pgpdecode, pgpencode, and pgpsign.
