Subject: Finger in PC-PINE

Users of our system would like to find out about other users on the 
system, for example when they cannot remember their e-mail ID. If they 
also use the underlying UNIX system, finger does it for them. If they 
only use PINE on a PC, they have to exit PINE, use finger, then go back 
in to send the mail. It would be nice to have a "finger" option available 
on PINE's menu.
This can only be classed as an "it would be nice" item for the wishlist.
Since MAISTROM does it on the MAC, I assume that all the necessary IMAP 
features are already present.

Finger is not a function of IMAP.  We are planning to add support for 
directory services, which might include some form of access to finger 
as well.
