I use alpine in 2017.

It's easy to use, pluggable, and faster than any GUI I've touched.

As do I, because it's faster than browser based email and many GUI clients (like Thunderbird). I also like the fact that I can just copy across my .pinerc file to a new computer and my mail client is setup.

I had not considered the PDF issue. I just open them with an external application. The potential of reading them within Alpine hadn't occurred to me, but now it has, I want it!

Something like:

    application/pdf;pdftotxt %s /tmp/pdftxt && less /tmp/pdftxt
In your MAILCAP file?
