How about having the TAB-completion on the ^R (include-file) option? :-)

Sorry, but I agree with Glenn.  Having to take my fingers off the 
home keys is a major reason why I don't use pine unless I'm forced to.

I'd like to request that when I list folders in pine there be a number 
with each folder name indicating the number of messages contained in each 
folder. I know I've asked for this some time ago but maybe it's more 
feasible now?...
thanks
