Subject: Updating user's .pinerc

I'd like to turn off elm-style-saving for Pine 3.03 clients but
people already have a .pinerc file. Is there anyway short of including a
login script to remove their old .pinerc that we can instruct pine to
overwrite the old user .pinerc.
Thanks,
Dan

Dan,
I can't think of an easy way to turn it off globally, other than
recompiling the source.  However, by popular demand the next version will
always save to the mail directory, even when you override the default
folder name.  When that version is installed, Pine will also automatically
change the name of the option in the config file (since it is no longer using
Elm's semantics.)

Well, you could use find to get the paths of all of the .pinerc files, and
then write a script to recopy the users .pinerc files, but changing the
line you want as it writes...
