Subject: Incoming Folder in Pine 3.90

Dear All,

Just installed Pine 3.90, and am very pleased. One thing niggles,
however -- I sort my incoming email (with procmail) into one of
many separate folders. Some of these have the current month
appended onto their names, some are purged on a regular basis,
etc.

It would be nice, instead of having to provide a list of folders
that I consider as being `incoming', if Pine could be given a
directory name (ie. ~/mail) and any files found therein would be
considered as a valid mail folder...

Is this possible? Have I missed something? Surely I don't have to
manually maintain a list of valid incoming folders?

	Will.

Alas, at the moment it is not possible to specify a directory in the 
Incoming Message collection.  We will be revisiting this issue when we
work on hierarchy support for Pine 4.0.

You can specify directories of folders as either folder-collections or
news-collections.  We have considered various ways of adding groups of
folders to the incoming list, but decided to defer any action for now...
