No, unfortunately we can't easily change that because it's part of the 
code in Pine, not a preference we can set.  Plus, we want people to 
delete their old mail, and for it to be a slight inconvenience for them 
not to do so :-)

Regards,
Noel

I'm a little confused.  I guess I haven't explained our situation and 
desires fully.

The way Pine works here, if you answer "no" to 
the question on storing the previous months old sent mail in 
sent-mail-MMM-YYYY, the sent-mail folder just continues to grow.  What 
we'd like to do is make the sent-mail-MMM-YYYY option the default (if not 
automatic) so that we can compress sent-mail-MMM-YYYY files older than 60 
days and annually write sent-mail-MMM-YYYY.Z files to tape.

Is there a way to do this, or is there a planned feature that will permit 
this, or am I just whistling Dixie?

Thanks,

That requires a source change...
