I hope you will permit a couple of questions from a novice.  I'm using v3.89.

1) Today I've seen a couple of things here about customizing pine.  One
made reference to "old-style-reply".  I took a look at my .pinerc and
searched on this but couldn't find it.  I added it anyway to my
"feature-list=", but it has no effect.  So how can I set pine so that my
reply to a message will start at the end of the quote of the message I am
replying to? 

2) I've just learned some vi, and had been wishing I could use it as
pine's editor instead of pico.  And in looking over the "old-growth" 
features list I found "enable-alternate-editor-cmd".  I added this to my
features list, and changed "editor=" to "editor=vi".  Now I have vi for
editing when I want it!  I just hit ^_ when in the body of the msg I am
editing.  My question is, is there a way to use vi to read a message?  Or
some pager like less or pg?  Too often I find myself needing to export a
long msg to my home directory so I can read it with less or vi's view
option.

old-style-reply has been deprecated in favor of the signature-at-bottom 
feature-list option.

> long msg to my home directory so I can read it with less or vi's view

Not at this time.

Thanks for the requests!
