Subject: Pine echoes * to the top _LEFT_ corner

This may be a FAQ, but I was wondering if anyone using recent versions of pine 
has managed to find a workaround for the following annoyance.  When using Pine 
over VersaTerm, a character is echoed to the top right-hand corner of the 
screen each time Pine checks for new mail.  This causes my VTerm session to 
report activity if it is in the background by beeping.  In older versions of 
Pine this was a great way to be notified of new mail.  In addition, once the 
session has reported activity, it will no longer beep again until it is 
brought to the foreground.  So I have 3 sessions running Pine on separate 
machines, and the 2 that I have in the background at any given time will beep 
once within minutes of being backgrounded, and will then remain silent.

Is there any way to recompile Pine without this character-echoing, or 
otherwise disable this feature?  Please tell me there is.

-Darren

	In Pine 3.9x, there's an option for it in the config screen ("S C"
from the Main Menu). It's called "enable-mail-check-cue". Just turn it
off.
