Subject: Possible remote .sig and addressbook?

Hi All,

In the help given with Pine for Windows, it mentions
that presently a local signature file and local
addressbook has to be used.  We would like to get
pine for Windows going with IMAP such that it
doesn't matter which PC or terminal a users runs
pine from.

However, with the requirement for a local sig file
and local addressbook, this is harder to achieve.

Two main queries :-

Is (and when) it planned that a future version of
pine (and IMAP?) will be able to use remote
addressbooks and signature files.

How do people use the IMAP pine from different
PCs and terminals semi transparently.  (i.e.,
do users download a central addressbook file and
sig file?).  

Ideas and comments appreciated.

Lachlan.

Remote sig and addressbook access is planned, but I can't say for sure
when...
