I'm using an old pine client through alot of network jumps.

But I'm not reading the digest version. My answers only contains
information from a digest, if someone else have mailed in an unedited
digest.

Somewhere trough all network steps - since pine isn't running locally -
that paste part doesn't work reliable. I have never seen a paste error in
the local editor, but regularly when pasting back the answer into the new
mail.

Because of above paste problem, a true estimate for me is 3-5 minutes.
Then I'm better off ignoring to answer.

Without another link setup, emacs or <insert any suitable name here> will
get the same problems with the paste operation, since I know it isn't the
pine client who fails.
