Subject: Pine Problems

There are about three problems I've been having with Pine/things I'd 
love to be able to get Pine to do...

(1)  (Category of MAJOR problem)  Is there any way to get Pine to take
all the messages in a folder and turn them into a text file IN ORDER 
BY DATE?  I _know_ how to locate and download the actual folders, and 
I _know_ how to sort a folder by date, but this sort only changes the 
order in which messages are displayed in the index, NOT the order in 
which they sit in the disk file.  

The inability to archive messages chronologically is the single most 
important reason why I have resisted switching all my email to an 
account that uses Pine.

(2)  (Category of mid-level annoyance)  Is there any way to either (a)
set automatic cc: to self or (b) set the folder so that outgoing 
messages appear in the INBOX?  I've tried changing the folder name to 
INBOX in the .pinerc file, but this just makes Pine try to create a 
second folder called INBOX and put my mail in it.

(3)  (Category of minor wierdness)  Why does a message which has been 
read revert to being unread when it is moved into a different folder? 
This has only happened since Pine here was upgraded to 3.89.

I'd be grateful if there were any solutions to any of these problems.

I agree that this one is a little, but defintely, annoying.  A solution 
would be appreciated.
