PINE is dead, long live Alpine

I'm a long-time user of the best MUA out there, PINE. It has some problems though, firstly it is not free software (you may not distribute modified versions) and secondly it doesn't support UTF-8. A while ago WU started work on a free rewrite of PINE, called Alpine. Alpine is now at v0.9999. I've been using it for a few weeks now and does it indeed seem to be quite complete and perfectly useable (there's only regression from PINE I've noticed, roles only let you set one address in Reply-To).

Finally we have the very powerful but user-friendly, terminal-based PINE MUA, under a friendlier licence :). I wonder if I can get this included into SFW..
