When Pine is used to make a newsgroup posting it puts a three letter OS code in the message id. Here are the results from searching the Alta Vista usenet database. Search String Number of Matches ============= ================= "Pine." 30000 "Pine.SUN" 4000 "Pine.SOL" 4000 "Pine.OSF" 5000 "Pine.LNX" 2000 "Pine.SGI" 1000 "Pine.BSF" 300 "Pine.BSD" 200
