Subject: Pine and Digests

I receive a digested mailing list and sometimes it would be nice to 
respond directly to the author of a piece rather than to the full mailing 
list. Is there a way in Pine to do that? If it's in the help, I can't 
find it.

If not, any ideas on how to accomplish the same thing other than writing 
a note.

Pine currently treats the digest parts as text rather than messages, so no,
you cannot respond directly.  We plan to improve handling of embedded
messages in a future release or Pine...

Procmail comes with program formail which can be used to transform a
digest to a email folder. After transformation you can use pine to
answer to the author of a piece.

1. Use pine export command to save the digest to a file and exit pine.

2. Type 'formail +1 -ds cat <digest_file >>~/mail/some_folder'

3. Type 'pine -f some_folder'

4. Select the piece and press 'r' (pine reply command).
