I don't remember right now what problems I had, I took the decision quite
some time ago. I think it was some collisions with the control-keys used
by the Pine editor. Also, I found the way to boot an xterm using
ISO-8859-1 instead of the default utf-8. Pine can not change the font on
the fly, it uses that of the terminal, so I select the one most used in
emails.
mc works fine in gnome-terminal, except when you try to type "F10" to
exit: instead you get the terminal menu. In knosole, I don't remember, I
think it works well, but I don't use it much.
