pine?  Netscape mail?  man, I'd expect you to be a mutt person
(www.mutt.org) - completely text based, superior power, IMAP over SSL,
and whatnot...  it even has a NNTP patch!  combined with a good spamfilter
(www.spambouncer.org), you're all set :)  for the windows side of things,
I usually use Netscape mail doing IMAP, so I'll still get all the messages
down on the Linux half of the laptop...
