Subject: A few things

I just started using pine, and I've got most of my problems taken care of
by friends, but still have a few things I need help with.

1) How can I set pine to not create the ~/mail directory, but rather use
my ~/Mailbox directory, where I have the saved-messages files?

2) I have pine set up with the news-collection on our NNTP server.  How
can I get pine to list just the groups with news messages?  Also, how
to I get pine to start at the first new message, instead of at the last?

3) How does pine read kill files (i.e., How do I set pine to read a kill
file from a particular place?  for example, I have a kill file for the
news group rec.collecting.cards, so my kill file exists as ~/Mailbox/
rec/collecting/cards/KILL)

4) Is there a simple way to mark all messages as deleted (catch up in
most mail readers)?

	Thanks,

---

Setting the "mail-directory" variable in your .pinerc file should take care
of that.

This mode is not available.  All subscribed newsgroups are listed.

> rec/collecting/cards/KILL)

Pine does not read kill files at this time.

Not until Pine 3.90 comes out...
