Dear Pine Team,

I am a happy Pine user.  Congratulations on developing an easy and useful 
mail handler.  But  (compliments are often followed by buts)

1.  Is it (or could it be made) possible to have the Receipt Time recorded
in the header of incoming messages, as well as the Date and time of
dispatch?  Sometimes messages are received in a different chronological
order from that of their dispatch, and it would be useful to have this
information recorded. 

2.  Is it (or could it be made) possible to bring in another message during
a Reply (i.e., other than the message being Replied to)?  The only way I
can see to do this at present is to export that message to a file, and
then read it into the reply.  But that means anticipating that the message
will be needed;  if not, the Reply must be postponed while the export is
done. 

I look forward to your comments.

Graham de Vahl Davis

Graham,

The Berkeley mailbox format (default on most systems) includes the date 
and time recieved on the internal "From " that precedes each message.  
However, if you "save" a message, that date and time will be updated with 
the date and time saved.

A future version of Pine will include a capability to include a message 
directly...

Thanks for the requests!
