How do you mean, "the default"? Not sure I follow you. The way I made
this mistake (back when I was a FreeBSD newbie) was, I went crazy
installing packages left and right. Selected *everything* in the "mail"
packages section. "Regular" pine got installed *before* the Japanese
version, so guess what happened? :-)
