Non NB, mailers, was List silence

[Joel Lidov <jblsas>]

As I understand it, Pine is not the program that your _server_ uses
to send and receive from the internet; you never see that.  It's a
user program that runs between your terminal and the internal program
in the server.  An offline mailer would need to know nothing about
Pine, it just reads from the same source within the server that Pine
does.  Assuming that you have one or another ordinary Unix server,
any off-line mailer, going through your ISP (the PPP connection)
would get the mail sent to your address on the York server.  (I think
there's even a version of Pine that would run on your own PC and do
this).  Most people appear to be using either the mailers built into
the browsers, which are limited in their features, or Eudora (which
comes in Lite or pay-for versions) or Pegasus (which is free, and has
lots of features).
