initial-keystroke-list
----------------------
When setting initial-keystroke in .pinerc to present mail sorted by arrival 
(reversed to get new messages at top of index) as in:
 
initial-keystroke-list=i,$,r

Gives rise to the following `error' :

Can't mix characters and function keys in
"initial-keystroke-list", skipping.

If, however, the `$' is quoted with `\' as in

initial-keystroke-list=i,\$,r

Pine behaves as expected.

New version message
-------------------
It would be helpful to reserve the `new pine version' welcome message for
versions of Pine that are FUNCTIONALLY different from previous versions
because displaying this message for `maintenance' releases may lead to
confusion, i.e. a user asking "What's new in this version?".

PS I forgot to mention the above points are Pine 3.87 on DYNIX/ptx 2.0.4,
but I suspect are generic.
