Subject: Enhancements for next release

From: Jim Lennie <[email-masked]>

I have a couple of suggestions for the next release.

1) Can the "^R Rich Hdr" function in the composer be expanded to include 
"Acknowledgement-To:"?

2) Can we add "no-confirm" to the feature list? "no-confirm" would turn 
off all the confirmation [y/n] messages?

Can the non implemented features be removed ?
How do I stop Pine from writing to sent-mail ?

There will be extensions to the headers available in future versions of 
Pine.  The "Acknowledgement-To:" header is not part of any standards I am 
aware of though...

There will be a couple more options in Pine 3.86 to reduce confirmations.

Well, we have thought about taking out the non-implemented features, but 
have not done it.

To stop writing sent-mail, set default-fcc="" in your .pinerc.

Yes, taking them out would be almost as much work as finishing them! :)

Note that most of them are individually enabled in the .pinerc, although 
included in the "old-growth" package.  So one could cause all of these:

# enable-unix-pipe-cmd          (included in old-growth set)
# enable-bounce-cmd             (included in old-growth set)
# enable-apply-cmd              (included in old-growth set)
# enable-flag-cmd               (included in old-growth set)
# enable-zoom-cmd               (included in old-growth set)

to disappear from the keymaps by not setting "feature-list=old-growth" and
explicitly listing just the things you want. 

Apply and Zoom will take awhile yet, but pipe, bounce, and flag should 
definitely make it into the next non-maintenance release...

Thanks for the info.

Well I got Pine3.85 to compile under Solaris2.2 using GCC2.4.5, the flags
in the makefile.sol should be set to :

-traditional (removing the -ansi and -DANSI)
I also user the os-sv4.h and .c files for the os dep.

I thought you might want to include a HOW-to compile under Sol2.2 with GCC
in there somewhere, I can be a contact if you like.

Question, what's the scoop on the file gmon.out ? how do I stop this file 
from being generated ?

> > in the makefile.sol should be set to :

This should read in the makefile.sol in the pine dir.

Sounds like you've got profiling turned on.  That would usually get 
turned on by having something like -p or -p<something> in the CFLAGS when 
you compiled.

I have compiled pine 3.86 with the patch-for-3.86.tar fix but
get a segmentation core dump when I run it - No output comes out.
This is on a Sparc 2000 running Solaris 2.2.
 I found pine 3.85 compiled under Solaris 2.2 ok and ran ok.
I am compiling using Sun's c compiler with -Xs option in addition to your
 supplied options.

Like you, I have compiled Pine 3.86 with the patches-for-3.86.tar fix on a
SunOS 5.2 (Solaris 2.2) machine.  I compiled it using: 
   
   /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -Xs ...

I run it on the same SunOS 5.2 machine using an IMAPd daemon running on a
SunOS 4.1.3 machine.  I have not seen the segmentation core dump problem
that you mention.

Check to make sure that you have something listed in the feature-list
variable in your .pinerc.  An empty feature-list triggers a bug on 
Solaris.  This will be fixed in Pine 3.87.

And a feature of no-something is allowed in 3.86 and would effectively be 
a no-op.

 Yes. It was indeed the lack of a feature list in .pinerc that caused the
problem.
After I set the right hand side to no- I was able to use pine 3.86
without a problem. Thank you
