Subject: can I use a .mailrc with PINE?

Hi,

	I was wondering if I could use a .mailrc alias in PINE, instead of
cluttering up my addressbook with a ton of addresses, mixing personal and
business (yecch!) :) Thanks in advance.  -j-

You can have more than one address book in pine, one for business and one 
for personal, say.  You can't directly use a mailrc alias.  You would 
need to translate it to an address book entry first.

Good to know we can have more than one address book but I'd appreciate 
learning how to do it. TIA.

In the Setup/Config screen find the address-book line.  If you've made no 
changes there, you'll be using the single addressbook ".addressbook".  If 
you want to add another you'll need to add both .addressbook and the new 
file to the address-book line.  You can add them both at once if you 
separate them with a comma, or you can add them one at a time with the 
Add command and forget about the comma.
