I have only just discovered PINE so please bear with me.
Can someone please email me with information on how to stop the creation
of enourmous .pine-debug files everytime I use pine.
Also is there a FAQ for pine users? I've managed to get to grips with
most of it but I have a few questions....
Many Thanks

>of enourmous .pine-debug files everytime I use pine.

Start pine with the -d0 flag which means turn debugging off.  I have
the following alias in my ~/.cshrc file so it automatically happens
each time I type pine.

alias pine "\pine -d0"

Hope this helps,
Nancy

>most of it but I have a few questions....

i get the same pine-debug files. four of them build up and then they stop 
(i don't know f they are rewriting to those four or not - haven't 
checked). anyone know what the cause of it is?

adam

.pine-debug files are normal.  The last one is .pine-debug1 and the oldest is
.pine-debug4.  They do come in handy when trying to track down certain
problems, so we keep them on by default....

In article <[email-masked]>,
>problems, so we keep them on by default....

this is one of my pine-debug files (sorry that it is so long). it looks 
like the problem occurs in the first few lines of this file. does anyone 
know why this would be happening? i checked /usr/local/lib and there are 
no pine files in it. are there supposed to be?

	I can't remember what you said the problem is you are
experiencing. Was it something about interrupted mail? If so, then this is
it. If you don't want it, then rm ~/.pine-interrupted-mail and the problem
should disappear.
