I didn't mean the speed of sending the e-mail; that's why I said e-mail process. Pine removes a lot of the bizarre crap that Outlook foists upon you, such as mouseclicks[0]. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. In Outlook, how would I integrate it with gpg or another encryption program of my choice? How would I write a program to generate a sequence of unique signature lines for myself? How would I read e-mail remotely after downloading it to my desktop? I do all of these things right now, with Pine. [0] If you want it to. Pine will still let you use a mouse, if for some reason you think you really should.
