yarn already does all of these functions and requires no special set up
since it was designed as an off-line e-mail newsgroup reader and it uses soup packets
for uploading e-mail and usenet reply packets.  If you've an interest,
check out http://www.vex.net//yarn/
yarn also has its own mail list for support, and another problem with
pine is it offers no e-mail or newsgroup filtering.
yarn already has this built in.
