This message contains very important information that you should read before you upgrade. Pine4.58 is a bug release version. The main point of this release is to fix a security hole found in all previous versions of Pine, which is exploitable. An exploit was posted in Bugtraq, so you should upgrade. If you try to upgrade by downloading the source code of Pine and building it yourself, that WILL NOT work. The program will build correctly, but upon executing it, it will corrupt all your data (folders and addressbooks). You need to patch Pine before building it. The patch is included in the source code (as downloadable from the cygwin mirrors using setup.exe, not from the main Pine site). That patch also fixes the crashes found in the distribution of uw-imap and other tools. The patch for c-client was given to me by Marc Crispin. I would like to thank him for sending me this modification. If you don't want to deal with the above, simply upgrade to Pine-4.58-1 from any mirror of Cygwin using the setup program and enjoy this rock solid and powerful e-mail program. To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup, fill in all of the options, and make appropriate choices on the "Select Packages" screen. You'll need to select the Mail category to see Pine and Pico.
