Greetings....

I just found out that this group [which I voted
for] is now operational.

I would like to recommend the followings
for future pine upgrades/versions :

1) [this one I am sure can not be done
    in pine 3.8]

   Directory expansion.  To be able to
   expand a directory in FOLDER MENU as 
   as you select it into more mail-folders.

2) [this one I am not sure. It may be possible
    but I don't know it]

   Via commands 'g' [go-to-folder]  and 's' [save-to-folder]
   user should be able to give an alias, a nick-name if you
   will, rather than typing the folder's path.  I know
   some of you may suggest usage of unix's link facility
   but I think that will create a big mess for people
   [like me] who has a lot of folders in various places.

Thanks,
Farid

Hierarchical collections are planned....

I would suggest a judicious use of folder collections.  Then you can press ^N
or ^P to move between collections at the 'g' and 's' prompts.
