[Alpine-info] another long shot question?

In terms of there being an alpine solution I mean.

Most of the time I use pine instead. One specific reason is that very
very often I must stop and read material while in my inbox..an article
for example.
In every alpine build to which I have access save for here at shellworld,
my inbox closes while I am reading..pine does not do this.
Still, for reasons I cannot follow suddenly my work related rolling stone
newsletter subscriptions have stopped.
The shellworld admin uses a service, he does not manage the mail of his
customers directly.
I know my rolling stone account is fine, tested it by trying to
re-subscribe, and it pulled my preferences right up.
I suppose it is comparative to my whitelisting question, a way that
content gets through, even if some odd source tries to say otherwise.
what I find personally frustrating is I am missing this needful
content..but getting several spam messages from tiktok that I cannot
filter. we have no spam folder here.
before folks suggest I go elsewhere, one critical item here for me is
several browsers. I can in pone and alpine change what browser I want to
use for displaying a email link. Rarely needful with rolling stone, their
site rocks with lynx the cat..pun attended.
Given most sources expect one to have a spam folder to correct this problem
though, I am seeking an option before I sing out to rolling stone itself.
Any ideas?
