Subject: Screen vs. Pine [pico]

I use the "iScreen" program to make multitasking easier on our
workstations.  Pine is my mailer of choice.  "Screen" lets you cut and
past segments of the screen from one virtual terminal into another.  This
proves problematic when pasting multiple lines into Pico, because pico
interprets the unix EOL (^J) as meaning "justify".  The only "fixes" to
this problem I could find are:  1) make sure there's NO OTHER TEXT within
twelve lines of the pasting area, or it will get sucked into pico's
justifying vortex, or 2) use the alternate editor (vi).  Both alternatives
are unsatisfactory.  Is there any way to tell pico to simply treat the
^J's as newlines?

Thanks in advance!
