Shannon Ray Adams stated to the world at large..
: In Pine, I want to pull in an ASCII text file and use it as a message. 
: For example, I have a file called test.txt and want the contents of that
: file to go to joe@dec5000.  Is this possible?  How do I do that?

At Pine's opening screen, press A for Addressbook.  Locate the cursor 
onto your target's email address, then type:

		C^Rtest.txt^Xy

: Also, I want to to put a file in the users mail directory and it appear as
: a new message to him/her.  Is this possible?  If so, what format does the
: file have to be in (ASCII?).

Mail it to him/her as uuencoded 7-bit ascii.

I have a slight permutation on this thread. As a postmaster of several 
conferences, I want to send a standard file in my directory to one-time
requests. How may I accomplish this?

Thanks very much.

Bye for now.

To copy a text file into an e-mail message, using PINE, simply use 
control-R to "read file" into the message. It works for me. 

Has this already been answered before, and I missed the answer?
