Pine is an email client: the University of Washington's "Program for Internet News & Email." It is also a self-referential acronym for "Pine Is Not Elm" (in reference to Elm, another email client), although the former designation is now the official one.
There are both Unix and Windows versions of Pine. The Unix version is command line interface-based. Its user interface inspired the Pico text editor. Pine and Pico are registered trademarks of the University of Washington.

Pine is an emailclient: the University of Washington's "Program for Internet News and Email." Many people believe that Pine stood for "Pine is not Elm." However, its original author, Laurence Lundblade, insists this was never the case and that it started off simply as a word and not an acronym[1].
Individuals associated with the university (students, faculty, staff, etc.) are also able to use WebPine, a version of Pine implemented as a web application.
In its default configuration, Pine offers an intentionally limited set of functions geared toward the novice user, but it also has a growing list of optional "power-user" and personal-preference features.
pinef is a variant of Pine that uses function keys rather than mnemonic single-letter commands.
