I think it's a feature that'll be implemented in the newer versions.

I added to .pinerc the line "feature-list=enable-bounce-cmd",
but all that does is to change the error message from one that
says the "B" command is "not available for this screen" to one
that says "Bounce command not implemented yet".

Is this the dead end it appears to be?

Sadly, I have to say again what I'm getting tired of saying.  "It's fixed
in 3.90".  In 3.89, the Bounce command, Pipe command and one other one in
that cluster, are totally unimplemented.  They're all there in 3.90,
working perfectly.  3.90 was supposed to be released Monday.  Now, I'm not
nagging, but couldn't they at least promise us another release date?  Like
Friday, or next Friday?  I'm holding a few system enhancements until I can
get 3.90 in place, and I wonder if it's going to cost me too much time in
the end. 

Oh, well.  Anyway, 3.90 is the panacea, the cure for what ails you.  It 
does everything you ever wanted, and even makes toast.  Seriously, it's 
well worth the wait, no matter how long it gets.

Bounce was not yet implemented in Pine 3.89.  It will be in Pine 3.90.

Come on guys, make my day! When?

I know you said that you weren't renowned for keeping release dates,
but the guy who said 'late June', 'might slip into July', 'no reason why
August 22nd should be a problem', must have been loaded with crack
when he spoke those words.

	Keep your finger in the dike....  :-) :-)

	It is coming and it is worth the wait.  You know, this wouldn't
have happend if the Pine team wasn't striving to please as many people
as possible......and it wouldn't have happened if they kept quiet about
a release date.  Along with a few last minute bug fixes they are in the
process of providing something you don't see these days....documentation.

	But, maybe you have a point, it sure is a pain to have to wait
this long for *free* software.  :-) :-)

	Oh, BTW, I was informed that the sky would not fall should 
pine 3.90 be delayed another few _____s.

He, placing multiple smiley's after stereotype remarks about the 
Dutch doesn't help. You hurt my feelings! Although, they were very *cheap*!  
Mmmmh, ;-)

I am not blaming the Pine team anything, really. Pine is easy to use and not 
only targeted at novice users anymore. With the promised enhancements of 
3.90 it is probably the best mailer around IMHO (I have tried elm, BSD mail,
mh, mailtool among others).

It only feels bad when the highly anticipated version is delayed once 
more. I am just amazed that the Pine team agree upon approximate 
release dates (apparently, because dates have been posted here), which turn 
out to be way, way, way off.

Dear Pine team, keep up the good work.

Richard.

Here, here.  A new date would be nice.  We are also holding of
announcements for the software which will be up for on our kit next
year.  If we miss the date it says missed 8(.

I think the problem can be defined this way:

Geographic proximity to Redmond WA.

(seriously tho, I'd rather it be a little later if it's a little more bug-
free, particularly where odd-ball platforms like AIX and Solaris come in).
