True, but I never had any problems with even the original pine (which I 
still have installed on my slackware and redhat boxes) so its not a 
stresser if development has ceased, it's like a few other things I use 
that have not been worked on in years, alpine is not 0.00000001% as 
exploitable as GUI browsers, and stable, the only thing I never liked 
about it was the delay in ticks before checking for a break in nntp, but 
been used to that for close on two decades now so i just go make a coffee :)
