Pine 4.55 is now available

This note is to announce the availability of the Pine Message System
version 4.55. This release introduces some new functionality and
addresses bugs found in earlier versions.

Perhaps the most notable changes are improved POP3 performance and an
experimental "Mail Drop" setup that can make POP3 access behave more
like some POP3 users expect it to behave. To learn about "Mail Drops",
start Pine, view the Release notes (command "R" from the Main Menu), and
view the "Mail Drop" link.

Specific information about changes can always be found in the built-in
release notes ("R" off the Main Menu), or via any of:
