Subject: Updating the INBOX?

I have a question in Unix Pine 3.89... I know it only checks my 
incoming mail file at intervals, and that I can force it to do so by 
eXpunging deleted messages or by quitting and restarting mail.

On occasion, I will send a message while my inbox is empty... I have 
Pine set to put my outgoing messages in the inbox, however, I can't 
make the message I just sent appear in my inbox (so I can file it and 
go on to doing something else) without either waiting or quitting and 
restarting.

Is there any kind of "update" command that will check /usr/spool/mail 
and add new messages immediately to the index of the inbox?

The new mail check was added in Pine 3.89.  In earlier releases you can press
'N' a few times at the end of the index.
