Subject: Opening INBOX via IMAP

When Pine is about to open the INBOX, it says

	Please wait, opening mail folder .......

For various reasons I won't go into, our users are used to spending some
time looking at this message and that's fine. We recently switched to
mounting the mail spool via imap on one of our machines; when the users
started Pine, the status line said something like

HOST: suma2.rdg.ac.uk ENTER LOGIN NAME: suqblogs

but some people were still staring at a point higher up the screen, which 
told them 

	Please wait. Opening mail folder .......

so they did! (wait and wait, that is). Can the message be modified for imap 
connections ("Please look down", "I need your userid on imaphost", "Wakey, 
wakey!" etc)
