Subject: Addressbooks - supressing list members on screen

Hi,
	I was just wondering how useful people think it would be if
	pine's addressbook suppressed list members unless an actual
	list is selected for inspection/modification..... the only reason
	i mention this is that our system wide addressbook has numerous,
	large addressbooks and when you simply want to move down your
	'list of lists' you also have to plough through the list of 
	recipients. Are any thoughts/comments on suppressing the 
	list memberships, until a list is actually selected in some way?

	Just curious.

I agree with your very practical suggestion.  I'd like to see an addbook
feature in pine that allows either a seperate folder for the distribution
lists (like a subdirectory), or a tack-on feature that could be custom
configed (like the signature-at-bottom command) so that all the lists will
be grouped at the end, preferably by the group name as you suggested. 
Also on my wishlist is a means of surpressing all the names from appearing
(as in the listserv addressees) in the composed message  (taking up
extra bytes) - in other words, like your idea to have only the list names
in the addbook, the recipient line would feature only the group's name.

I think you can order the addressbooks with various keys.....

you can sort of do this. Use the Bcc field and it won't then list the 
recipients getting the message.
