Yeah... but our terminals here on campus all use pine and whenever 
someone posts a message with color in it... our terminals shit-the-bed 
and get all messed up. When dialing in on a modem to campus and using 
pine, the only way to stop the computer from going schizo on us, is to 
hang up!!! Please don't use colors...
