          That works even without alpine installed (e.g. in Docker container):



          $ cat /etc/alpine-release 
          3.4.6

            While this does answer my question (and probably yours), this is how to check the Alpine OS version, not the Text-based email client. ;)

          You should be able to run the command alpine -v or alpine -version ... you can also start Alpine and press ? on the main menu to open the main Help page, which will also tell you the version.



          If your system has a package manager that you used to install Alpine, you can also check with that. For example, on my Debian system, I'd run:



          $ dpkg -l | grep alpine
          ii alpine 1.10+dfsg-3 Text-based email client, friendly for novices but powerful
