Subject: uqroch/bin/Pine with this as part of the .pinerc

I keep mail on different topics in subdirectories of the mail folder - this
worked without a hitch in early versions of pine without any special
setting-up

Now with version 3.88 I cannot always save messages into folders in
subdirectories of mail

> New version 3.88 now in ~suqroch/bin/Pine
Fixed my folder does not exist when saving a message problem by starting

# One or more collections where saved messages are stored.
# The first one is the default collection for saves.  For example:
# folder-collections=saved-email     mail/[],
#                    widget-project  widget/[]
folder-collections=
cap     mail/CAP/[],
csc     mail/CSC/[],
shiva   mail/SHIVA/[],
folk    mail/FOLK/[],
smug    mail/SMUG/[],
hensa-news   mail/HENSA/[],
solaris       mail/SOL2/[],
network     mail/JIPS/[],
sun-managers           mail/SUN/[],
macintosh    mail/MAC/[],
networking    mail/NET/[],
arns      mail/ARNS/[],
sweby     mail/PETE/[],
sun-announcements     mail/PLUG/[]

ran Pine - and it used the folders in subdirectories of mail  - and when
I looked at .pinerc again ,a bit had been Added !!

# One or more collections where saved messages are stored.
# The first one is the default collection for saves.  For example:
# folder-collections=saved-email     mail/[],
#                    widget-project  widget/[]
folder-collections=mail/[]
cap     mail/CAP/[],
csc     mail/CSC/[],
shiva   mail/SHIVA/[],
folk    mail/FOLK/[],
smug    mail/SMUG/[],
hensa-news   mail/HENSA/[],
solaris       mail/SOL2/[],
network     mail/JIPS/[],
sun-managers           mail/SUN/[],
macintosh    mail/MAC/[],
networking    mail/NET/[],
arns      mail/ARNS/[],
sweby     mail/PETE/[],
sun-announcements     mail/PLUG/[]

Previously I had had the line

folder-collections=cap     mail/CAP/[],

which was associated with the sequence

save SUN/sendmail ?
create SUN/sendmail ?
mail/CAP/SUN/sendmail does not exist

which was annoying as mail/SUN/sendmail did exist ...
and after exiting Pine the line had changed to

folder-collections=cap     mail/CAP/[]

Indenting the folder-collection lines and putting 
folder-collections=cap	mail/CAP/[]

gave

Syntax error in /home/sufs1/ru8/su/suqpecoc/.pinerc: continuation line with noth
ing to continue:        cap     mail/CAP/[],
Syntax error in /home/sufs1/ru8/su/suqpecoc/.pinerc: continuation line with noth
ing to continue:        csc     mail/CSC/[],
Syntax error in /home/sufs1/ru8/su/suqpecoc/.pinerc: continuation line with noth

and I lost the rest of the .pinerc

David,

You got pretty close with the last one.  The following should get what 
you want:

The "continuation line with nothing to continue" error will happen if you 
have a blank line in the middle of the list.  The current version of Pine 
discards the unexpected continuation lines, but we will try to come up 
with a better solution for a future version.

If you have any other problems setting up your .pinerc, please send a copy of
the complete file as an attachment to [email-masked]. 

I hope this helps!
