In its default +configuration, Alpine offers an intentionally limited set of +functions geared toward the novice user, but it also has a large +list of optional "power-user" and personal-preference features. +.I alpinef +is a variant of Alpine that uses function keys rather than mnemonic +single-letter commands. +Alpine's basic feature set includes: +.IP +View, Save, Export, Delete, Print, Reply and Forward messages. +.IP +Compose messages in a simple editor (Pico) with word-wrap and a spelling +checker. Messages may be postponed for later completion. +.IP +Full-screen selection and management of message folders. +.IP +Address book to keep a list of long or frequently-used addresses. +Personal distribution lists may be defined. +Addresses may be taken into the address book from +incoming mail without retyping them. +.IP +New mail checking and notification occurs automatically every 2.5 minutes +and after certain commands, e.g. refresh-screen (Ctrl-L). +.IP +On-line, context-sensitive help screens. +.PP +Alpine supports MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions), an Internet +Standard for representing multipart and multimedia data in email. +Alpine allows you to save MIME objects to files, and in some +cases, can also initiate the correct program for viewing the object. +It uses the system's +.I mailcap +configuration file to determine what program can process a particular MIME +object type. +Alpine's message composer does not have integral multimedia capability, but +any type of data file --including multimedia-- can be attached to a text +message and sent using MIME's encoding rules. This allows any group of +individuals with MIME-capable mail software (e.g. Alpine, PC-Alpine, or many +other programs) to exchange formatted documents, spread-sheets, image +files, etc, via Internet email. +.PP +Alpine uses the +.I c-client +messaging API to access local and remote mail folders. This +library provides a variety of low-level message-handling functions, +including drivers +for a variety of different mail file formats, as well as routines +to access remote mail and news servers, using IMAP (Internet Message +Access Protocol) and NNTP (Network News Transport Protocol). Outgoing mail +is usually posted directly via SMTP +(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). +.SH OPTIONS +.if n .ta 2.8i +.if t .ta 2.1i + +The command line options/arguments are: +.IP \fIaddress\fR 20 +Send mail to +.I address. +This will cause Alpine to go directly into the message composer. +.IP \fB-attach\ \fIfile\fR 20 +Send mail with the listed +.I file +as an attachment. +.IP \fB-attachlist\ \fIfile-list\fR 20 +Send mail with the listed +.I file-list +as an attachments. +.IP \fB-attach_and_delete\ \fIfile\fR 20 +Send mail with the listed +.I file +as an attachment, and remove the file +after the message is sent. +.IP \fB-aux\ \fIlocal_directory\fR 20 +PC-Alpine only. When using a remote configuration (-p <remote_config>) this tells +PC-Alpine the local directory to use for storing auxiliary files, like debug +files, address books, and signature files. +.IP \fB-bail\fR 20 +Exit if the pinerc file does not exist.

As with Alpine, commands are +displayed at the bottom of the screen, and context-sensitive +help is provided. As characters are typed they are immediately +inserted into the text. +.PP +Editing commands are entered using control-key +combinations. As a work-around for communications programs that +swallow certain control characters, you can emulate a control key +by pressing ESCAPE twice, followed by the desired control character, +e.g. "ESC ESC c" would be equivalent to entering a ctrl-c. +The editor has five basic features: paragraph justification, +searching, block cut/paste, a spelling checker, and a file browser. +.PP +Paragraph justification (or filling) takes place in the paragraph that +contains the cursor, or, if the cursor is between lines, in the paragraph +immediately below. Paragraphs are delimited by blank lines, or by lines +beginning with a space or tab. Unjustification can be done immediately +after justification using the control-U key combination. +.PP +String searches are not sensitive to case, but one can be done +by pressing the control-W followed by control-^. A search begins at +the current cursor position and wraps around the end of the text. +The most recent search string is offered as the default in subsequent +searches. +.PP +Blocks of text can be moved, copied or deleted with creative use of the +command for mark (ctrl-^), delete (ctrl-k) and undelete (ctrl-u). +The delete command will remove text between the "mark" and the current +cursor position, and place it in the "cut" buffer. The undelete command +effects a "paste" at the current cursor position. +.PP +The spell checker examines all words in the text. It then offers, in +turn, each misspelled word for correction while +highlighting it in the text. Spell checking can be cancelled at any time. +Alternatively, \fIpico\fR will substitute for the default spell checking +routine a routine defined by the SPELL environment variable. The replacement +routine should read standard input and write standard output. +.PP +The file browser is offered as an option in the "Read File" and "Write Out" +command prompts. It is intended to help in searching for specific files +and navigating directory hierarchies. Filenames with sizes and names of +directories in the current working directory are presented for selection. +The current working directory is displayed on the top line of the display +while the list of available commands takes up the bottom two. Several +basic file manipulation functions are supported: file renaming, copying, +and deletion. +.PP +More specific help is available in \fIpico\fR's online help. +.SH Options +.IP \fB+\fIn\fB\fR +Causes \fIpico\fR to be started with the cursor located \fIn\fR lines +into the file.
