Subject: Another enhancement suggestion: default-fcc = prompt

Not using that syntax, of course, but I'd like to be able to tell pine to 
*prompt* me for a folder name in which to save outgoing messages.  As it 
is, I have to periodically run through sent-mail in order to move the 
messages to the folders in which I really want to store them.

David,

We are planning to implement a FCC-folder-name-rule similar to the 
saved-msg-name-rule in a future release.  Will this be good enough?  You 
can already change the Fcc: by editing the header before sending...

Thanks for the suggestion!

Maybe.  I'll be able to set it to something like "last-folder-used" 
and it will prompt me with that as the default before doing the actual save?

I think I can get into the habit of using rich headers and filling in the 
FCC line, but an (optional) automatic prompt would sure be easier.

Hmm.  Actually, a feature-list command to make rich headers the default,
or better yet a variable to allow me to select the list of default compose
headers, combined with default-FCC = "" would make me even happier, I
think. 

But thanks for reminding me about the extra headers.  That will 
instaneously make my life easier <grin>.

I don't think there will be an extra prompt, it will just change the 
default that is put in the FCC: header.

We are looking into various ways of implementing this.  People have been
requesting just about every possible combination of headers to show by
default.  This problem is just going to multiply with the News headers
added ;)
