Subject: Saving list of articles

I am looking for a way to select a set of articles and save them all into
a single file.  Is there a way to do this in PINE 3.91?  I've tried
flagging them and "E"xporting, but it appears to want to export only one
file.  I've also tried to "F"orward the messages, but that doesn't work. 
Is there a way to do it?

You can Apply ( "A" ) any other command ( "S"ave, "E"xport, "D"elete, 
"Y" (print), "|" (pipe), etc... )  to a group of selected messages, which 
will do that command on all of them. 

Note that for Pipe and Print, all of the messages are send in one stream to
the printer or program on the other end of the pipe. For Pipe, this is what
you need, but for printing, Pine doesn't separate the messages quite as
clearly as I would like. ( Although, it is nice that it does strip out the
"unnecessary" header lines. ) It would be nice if there were an option in
the Printer Setup, to set an optional message separator string on Print, 
so you could force messages to start on a new page, or perhaps print 
a line of of dashes or other delimiters between each message.

Christopher,

	You may want to try saving them to a newly created mailbox/mail 
folder, since all mail folders are just flat files.
	Using 3.91, you can ;SI (apply a select to the important flagged 
messages) and then AS (apply a save-to-folder).

	You're half way there! You need to "A"pply the "E"xport command
(i.e. A followed by E), and "A F" for forwarding a number of messages.

> will do that command on all of them. 

That's where I've been having trouble too - I get to the folder index 
screen (in this case my INBOX folder) and press the semi-colon .. then 
I'm told that ';' is not enable for this screen.  How do I select 
multiple messages for those aggregate operations ... from the folder 
index screen?  Like, for example, how do I select all messages from one 
individual?

I think you need to 'Enable Aggregate Command Set' in the Setup/
Configure menu. That will enable Select, Apply and Zoom. ( when
my .pinerc file was updated by 3.9x, it turned this on automatically
for me, probably because I had "old-growth" set in 3.89. ) 

  Once it is enabled, just try ";" - it will prompt you for selection
options. If you then do a Zoom, it will display only selected messages.
