pine-4.64L-alt6

$ rpm -qp pine-4.64L-alt6.i586.rpm -l | fgrep bin/
/usr/bin/filterpineconf
/usr/bin/mailutil
/usr/bin/mtest
/usr/bin/pilot

but mailutil is a general command-line tool for manipulating mailboxes useful independently of pine -- http://www.washington.edu/pine/man/#mailutil , http://www.washington.edu/alpine/mans.html#mailutil .

So it would be convenient to be able to install just mailutil, without the overhead of pine, ncurses etc. (Maybe it could be built from uw-imap-*.src.rpm, not from pine/alpine-*.src.rpm for more simplicity.)
