Subject: Save mail in a folder

Hi, Pine Expert:

How do I save message to a folder which is not in my home directory?  

Here is what I need to do :
When I receive a message, I need to save it to a directory called
	/local/gopher-data/bbs   <== a data used by gopher server and I have
				     all the access to it.
My mail directory is /users/deng/mail. 

Of course the simple way I am doing now is to copy the file to the bbs
directory.  But I want to set it up for somebody who doesn't have any 
system knowledge to do the job by simply saving the message to the 
right place and delete the old message in the folder.  Thank you very 
much in advance.

Sharon,

Just give the full pathname when the save command asks for the folder name. 
Alternatively, you can put a symbolic link in your mail directory. 

Thanks for the request!
