How do I customize the help menu in pine that directs people where/who to 
call for assistance? I have a mail account set up for pine related questions 
that I'd like to include in there. The system admin. that did it before 
has left us. Thanks in advance for the help.

Also, like the idea of including other massages al a ~m 2 into a new 
message. Hope it gets included soon.

Michael,

Pine will insert the contents of /usr/local/lib/pine.info, if it exists, 
into the "Local Contacts" portion of the help text.  You can also set the 
initial addressbook entries by setting the bugs-nickname, bugs-fullname, 
and bugs-address in /usr/local/lib/pine.conf.

The next release of Pine will include support for replying to and
forwarding multiple messages.  A more generic inclusion capability will 
come later.

Thanks for the requests!
