Subject: Wastebasket request

I would like to request a configurable wastebasket option.
It would be nice if it worked like sent-mail where it is moved into 
individual monthly folders and optionally deleted.

Perhaps I don't understand your question, but couldn't you do this with

read-message-folder=trash
feature-list=auto-move-read-msgs

in .pinerc?  It wouldn't do the monthly thing, but you could write a 
short script to do that in your .login file.

Yes, I had missed that feature.  It will work fine, though the monthly 
bit would be nice :-)

Thanks,

I was wrong.  I need a function equiv to auto-move-deleted-msgs
to do what I want.  I still need read messages to stay in inbox.
Also, I only want deleted messages stored -- not ones I read and moved to 
another folder to save.

This doesn't seem possible for the current version of Pine.  For now, 
the best thing to do, I think, would be to get in the habit of saving 
messages rather than deleting them.  I think that this feature would 
require lots of new code, as, currently, Pine makes no distinction 
between messages which have been deleted because you saved them and 
messages which have just plain been deleted.

Good point.  Perhaps what would be useful here is a moved (or saved) 
flag.  Instead of morking messages that were saved into another folder as 
deleted, perhaps they can be marked as moved (which would still mean 
deleted from this folder).

Morking files ? Shazbat... 

	I think this is starting to get a teensy bit ridiculous. Perhaps 
it would be neater to implement saving in another folder as a move (ie. 
it disappears from the INBOX or whatever immediately) and have a function 
that works on messages marked as deleted.
