	I can suggest a clumsy way to tackle your problem.  You could 
delete your default sent-mail folder everytime you start PINE, like 
`alias pine "rm -f ~/mail/sent-mail;pine"'.  Anybody know a better way 
round this?

The correct way to do this is to, in your .pinerc, specify "" as the 
folder to save to.

Another way is to specify /dev/null as the folder to receive sent-mail.

The original suggestion would work a little nicer if you remove the 
folder after you run pine.  That way it will be deleted as very soon 
after created, and will never be seen.

The Pine on my system, by default, does *not* save outgoing mail into any 
sort of snet-mail floder.  What is the command I have to add (or change) 
to .pinerc to get Pine to do this?

Thanks.

In your .pinerc file add the line:

		default-fcc=foldername

where foldername is the name you want Pine to store your sent mail in.  
Then create a folder by that name in Pine.

That should do it.
