Pine uses subprocesses to perform several of its tasks. As such, users without subprocess quota cannot do any of the following: o use a customized printing command, o view image or video attachments, o use the spell checker, or o 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.
