Subject: Enhancement (audio)

Is there a way to specify a default audio device like there is to specify 
a default image viewer?  We often have people remotely logged in to other 
machines and it could be embarassing to go to read your mail message and 
then hear the sound of a toilet flushing on a computer in another room.  
(This happened to someone to whom I sent a message not too long ago.  The 
person sitting at the other computer was quite surprised as well!)

Chris,

The next release of Pine will include support for the "mailcap" 
configuration file.  This will allow you to configure just about any 
combination of "viewers"...

Thanks for the request!

Does 3.89 support more than one postponed message?  If not, how high is 
that on the priority list?  I'm just wondering, it's nothing essential.

Second, does ctrl-l (redraw the screen) force a check for new messages in 
the INBOX or is it still 3 down arrows, past the last INBOX message (as 
per thepine 3.85 tech docs?)

Thanks!

ps.	pine's the best!  everone here loves it!

Hussain,

Pine 3.89 only supports one postponed message, but Mike is currently
working on the changes to support multiple postponed messages so they
should make it into 3.90. 

Ctrl-L does force a check for new messages in Pine 3.89.

I do multiple postponed messages like this:

1) Make sure your .pinerc file has an entry like feature-list=enable-suspend
   or feature-list=old-growth
2) Postpone the 1st message.
3) Suspend Pine (^Z)
4) `cd ~/mail' (or your mail directory if you've changed it)
5) `mv postponed-mail p1' <-- if this is your second postponed message, 
   p2, etc.
6) `fg'
7) Now you can postpone another message.
8) To restore a previously postponed message:
   a) Suspend Pine (^Z)
   b) `cd ~/mail'
   c) `mv p1 postponed-mail'
   d) `fg'

It's not the most convienient method, but it works.
