PMDF User's Guide
OpenVMS Edition

Pine uses subprocesses to perform several of its tasks. As such, users without subprocess quota cannot do any of the following:

• use a customized printing command,
• view image or video attachments,
• use the spell checker, or
• use an alternate editor.

A side effect of using subprocesses in Pine when you have a remote IMAP connection is that the connection might timeout while waiting for a subprocess to complete. This is especially likely when using an alternate editor to compose a message.
