[Alpine-info] Seeking someone who..?

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

I found the information, there's a new website unknown to me.
https://alpineapp.email/

Maybe put that URL in the README file. I am using an old version to avoid
the alpine password requirements. I suggest an override when compiling to
avoid it's use, some of us just use alpine in our homes, no hackers have
access to any files. --no-passwords perhaps?

Thanks, EC.

Best wishes,
DR
