Subject: Re-SEND

Some time ago there were suggestions for work-arounds for the missing 
"RESEND" feature (ie the ability to correct a message for a fatal problem 
like a bad addressee, and then to send it again). Now that PINE3.89 has 
mended the fatal bug that made my workaround crash pine, I think that the 
following is the simplest and easiest to use:-

Export the message to MAIL\POSTPONE (PC-PINE) or mail/postponed-mail
(or wherever your postponed mail actually gets to), and then do Compose.
As if by magic your message re-appears as if it had been postponed. 
The only catch I have found is that the Fcc field is not preserved, so 
that needs to be reinserted manually (if required).
