SYNTAX
       alpine [ options ] [ address , address ]

       alpinef [ options ] [ address , address ]

DESCRIPTION
       Alpine  is  a screen-oriented message-handling tool.  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.  alpinef
       is a variant of Alpine that uses function keys rather  than  mnemonic  single-letter  com-
       mands.  Alpine's basic feature set includes:

              View, Save, Export, Delete, Print, Reply and Forward messages.

              Compose  messages  in a simple editor (Pico) with word-wrap and a spelling checker.
              Messages may be postponed for later completion.

              Full-screen selection and management of message folders.

              Address book to keep a list of long or frequently-used addresses.  Personal distri-
              bution lists may be defined.  Addresses may be taken into the address book from in-
              coming mail without retyping them.

              New mail checking and notification occurs automatically every 2.5 minutes and after
              certain commands, e.g. refresh-screen (Ctrl-L).

              On-line, context-sensitive help screens.

       Alpine  supports  MIME  (Multipurpose  Internet Mail Extensions), an Internet Standard for
       representing multipart and multimedia data in email.  Alpine allows you to save  MIME  ob-
       jects  to  files, and in some cases, can also initiate the correct program for viewing the
       object.  It uses the system's 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 individ-
       uals 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.

       Alpine  uses  the c-client messaging API to access local and remote mail folders. This li-
       brary 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 Proto-
       col).

OPTIONS
       The command line options/arguments are:

       address             Send mail to address.  This will cause Alpine to go directly into  the
                           message composer.

       -attach file        Send mail with the listed file as an attachment.

       -attachlist file-list
                           Send mail with the listed file-list as an attachments.

       -attach_and_delete file
                           Send  mail  with the listed file as an attachment, and remove the file
                           after the message is sent.

       -aux local_directory
                           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.

       -bail               Exit if the pinerc file does not exist. This might be  useful  if  the
                           config  file is accessed using some remote filesystem protocol. If the
                           remote mount is missing this will cause Alpine to quit instead of cre-
                           ating a new pinerc.

       -c context-number   context-number is the number corresponding to the folder-collection to
                           which the -f command line argument should be applied.  By default  the
                           -f argument is applied to the first defined folder-collection.

       -conf               Produce  a  sample/fresh  copy  of the system-wide configuration file,
                           pine.conf, on the standard output. This is distinct from the  per-user
                           .pinerc file.

       -convert_sigs -p pinerc
                           Convert signature files into literal signatures.

       -copy_abook <local_abook> <remote_abook>
                           Copy the local address book file to a remote address book folder.

       -copy_pinerc <local_pinerc> <remote_pinerc>
                           Copy the local pinerc file to a remote pinerc folder.

       -d debug-level      Output  diagnostic  info at debug-level (0-9) to the current .pine-de-
                           bug[1-4] file.  A value of 0 turns debugging off  and  suppresses  the
                           .pine-debug file.

       -d key[=val]        Fine  tuned  output  of diagnostic messages where "flush" causes debug
                           file writing without buffering, "timestamp" appends each message  with
                           a  timestamp, "imap=n" where n is between 0 and 4 representing none to
                           verbose IMAP telemetry reporting, "numfiles=n" where n  is  between  0
                           and  31  corresponding  to  the number of debug files to maintain, and
                           "verbose=n" where n is between 0 and 9 indicating an inverse threshold
                           for message output.

       -f folder           Open  folder  (in first defined folder collection, use -c n to specify
                           another collection) instead of INBOX.

       -F file             Open named text file and view with Alpine's browser.

       -h                  Help: list valid command-line options.

       -i                  Start up in the FOLDER INDEX screen.

       -I keystrokes       Initial (comma separated list of) keystrokes which Alpine should  exe-
                           cute on startup.

       -install            For  PC-Alpine  only,  this option causes PC-Alpine to prompt for some
                           basic setup information, then exits.

       -k                  Use function keys for commands. This is the same as running  the  com-
                           mand alpinef.

       -n number           Start up with current message-number set to number.

       -nowrite_password_cache
                           Read from a password cache if there is one, but never offer to write a
                           password to the cache

       -o                  Open first folder read-only.

       -p config-file      Use config-file as the personal configuration file instead of the  de-
                           fault .pinerc.

       -P config-file      Use  config-file  as the configuration file instead of default system-
                           wide configuration file pine.conf.

       -passfile <fully-qualified-path>
                           When password file support is compiled in, use the file  specified  in
                           <fully-qualified-path> instead of the default.

       -pinerc file        Output  fresh pinerc configuration to file, preserving the settings of
                           variables that the user has made.  Use file set to ``-'' to make  out-
                           put go to standard out.

       -pwdcertdir <fully-qualified-path>
                           When  SMIME  and  password file support are compiled in, this variable
                           sets the directory to store your personal key and certificate  to  en-
                           crypt and decrypt your password file.

       -r                  Use  restricted/demo  mode.   Alpine will only send mail to itself and
                           functions like save and export are restricted.

       -registry cmd       For PC-Alpine only, this option affects the values  of  Alpine's  reg-
                           istry entries.  Possible values for cmd are set, clear, and dump.  Set
                           will always reset Alpine's registry entries according to  its  current
                           settings.   Clear  will  clear  the registry values.  Clearsilent will
                           silently clear the registry values.  Dump will display the  values  of
                           current  registry  settings.   Note that the dump command is currently
                           disabled.  Without the -registry option, PC-Alpine will  write  values
                           into the registry only if there currently aren't any values set.

       -smimedir <fully-qualified-path>
                           If  SMIME  is  compiled in, this argument sets the directory where the
                           public, private, and certificate authorities certificates and keys are
                           stored. If not set by the command line the default is ~/.alpine-smime

       -sort order         Sort the FOLDER INDEX display in one of the following orders: arrival,
                           date, subject, orderedsubj, thread, from, size, score, to, cc, or  re-
                           verse. Arrival order is the default.  The OrderedSubj choice simulates
                           a threaded sort.  Any sort may be reversed by adding /reverse  to  it.
                           Reverse by itself is the same as arrival/reverse.

       -supported          Some  options  may or may not be supported depending on how Alpine was
                           compiled.  This is a way to determine which options are  supported  in
                           the particular copy of Alpine you are using.

       -uninstall          For  PC-Alpine only, this option causes PC-Alpine to remove references
                           to Alpine in Windows settings.

       -url url            Open the given url.  Cannot be used with -f or -F options.

       -v                  Version: Print version information.

       -version            Version: Print version information.

       -x config           Use configuration exceptions in config.  Exceptions are used to  over-
                           ride  your default pinerc settings for a particular platform, can be a
                           local file or a remote folder.

       -xoauth2-server ServerName
                           Name of the service that XOAUTH2  authentication  will  be  attempted.
                           The  only service supported as of this writing is Gmail. Note that all
                           of    the    options    -xoauth2-server,    -xoauth2-client-id     and
                           -xoauth2-client-secret   must   be   used   simultaneously.   Example:
                           -xoauth2-server Gmail.

       -xoauth2-client-id Client-Id
                           String that identifies Alpine with the service provider that  provides
                           XOAUTH2  authentication. Note that all of the options -xoauth2-server,
                           -xoauth2-client-id and -xoauth2-client-secret must be used  simultane-
                           ously.

       -xoauth2-client-secret Client-Secret
                           Secret  string  that  identifies  the Alpine with the service provider
                           that provides XOAUTH2 authentication.  Note that all  of  the  options
                           -xoauth2-server, -xoauth2-client-id and -xoauth2-client-secret must be
                           used simultaneously.

       -z                  Enable ^Z and SIGTSTP so alpine may be suspended.

       -option=value       Assign value to the config option option e.g. -signature-file=sig1  or
                           -feature-list=signature-at-bottom (Note: feature-list values are addi-
                           tive)

CONFIGURATION
       There are several levels of Alpine configuration.  Configuration values at a  given  level
       over-ride corresponding values at lower levels.  In order of increasing precedence:

        o built-in defaults.
        o system-wide pine.conf file.
        o personal .pinerc file (may be set via built-in Setup/Config menu.)
        o command-line options.
        o system-wide pine.conf.fixed file.

       There  is one exception to the rule that configuration values are replaced by the value of
       the same option in a higher-precedence file: the feature-list variable has values that are
       additive,  but  can be negated by prepending "no-" in front of an individual feature name.
       Unix Alpine also uses the following environment variables:

         TERM
         DISPLAY     (determines if Alpine can display IMAGE attachments.)
         SHELL       (if not set, default is /bin/sh )
         MAILCAPS    (semicolon delimited list of path names to mailcap files)
