Pine seems to have a bug when saving to boxes other than the default.  I
for instance use ~.elm/Mail since I used to use elm and still do for some 
things and the format is compatible but pine keeps trying to put in ~/"boxname"
instead of ~/.elm/Mail/"boxname".  If I save to the default it places the
mail in the correct ~/.elm/Mail/"boxname" file.
Is this a known limitation? Feature? ...

Thanks.

I also use both Pine and Elm for mail and what I've done is link 
each of their folder directories (mail for Pine and Mail for Elm) 
to a directory called Folders.  This way you avoid having to change
settings in the .pinerc and elmrc.  Here's one way to do this:

cd
mkdir Folders
cp mail/* Folders/*
cp -i Mail/* Folders/*
mv Mail/redundant_filename Folders/new_filename
ls Folders
rm mail/*
rm Mail/*
rmdir mail
rmdir Mail
ln -s Folders mail
ln -s Folders Mail

Hope this is helpful,
Nancy
