can anyone tell me how to stop receiving Pine information?

I have tried the single word "unsubscribe" twice, but the material 
still keeps coming.

I have also sent a brief note to "majordomo", but to no avail.

Thanks.

	Well, it seems the list keepers of pine are just as busy as
ever.... :-)

	What I generally do is set up my filtering, procmail in my case,
to send "unsubscribed" list mail to /dev/null, until I *really* get
unsubscribed.  :-) :-)

Majordomo is a piece of software, not a person, so I'm not surprised you 
didn't get a reply to your "brief note".  Here's how you tell Majordomo 
to take you off the list:
 
 o Address a message to:  [email-masked]
 o Leave the subject blank
 o The message text should say: unsubscribe pine-info
 
Do not include anything else in the text, not even a signature.  If you 
are sending the message from an address other than the one where you 
receive pine-info, add your subscription address like this:
    unsubscribe pine-info [email-masked]

Note that it's ok if you have something in the Subject but it will
be ignored.

>Do not include anything else in the text, not even a signature.  

Or you can put ``end'' as the last line of your commands and
majordomo will ignore everything else.

All true, but I've found that a lot of people are already confused enough
about the differences between listserv, listproc, and majordomo.  To avoid
confusion, when I tell somebody how to send a command to majordomo I
usually tell them to leave the subject blank and include nothing in the
text other than the actual command, just like they're used to (or should
be) with the ubiquitous listserv.

First I want to say thank you to the people who helped me awhile 
back w/ 3.85.

	As it seems my University now has 3.91 & I now see the 
benefits, (like posting).. :>
Did someone say there is multi-interruption and postponing ???  how many 
if so?
------------------
As many remember, one bug in 3.85 was the Extremely long wait for mail 
shifting at the beginning of the month..  Thankfully I found I could 
postpone the date!

Now, that I have 3.91 it hasn't asked me anything about shifting my mail 
at the beginning the month.. I guess I am missing something?
--------------------

	The last question is, how do I send a binary file after I upload 
it to my Unix home directory?
	I used control-t to go to the browser, brought it in then found 
lines wrapped making a huge mess. 

I appreciate any help, as I have found people to be understanding w/ this 
group..

		Thanks for reading,

				Greg

No limit, if I remember correctly.  As for how it works, try this:
 
 o Press "C" to compose.  If Pine asks whether to continue a postponed 
   message, say "N".
 o Write a short message.
 o Press ^O to postpone it.
 o Repeat the above several times.
 
This will give you several messages in your "postponed-msg"  folder.  Now 
press "C" to compose again, but this time reply "Y" when Pine asks if you 
want to continue a postponed message.  Pine will show you the index for 
the "postponed-msg" folder, from which you can select the message you 
want to continue working on.
 
If there is only one message in "postponed-msg", Pine shows it to you 
immediately.  If there is more than one, Pine shows you the index.
