Subject: Bug (ID ZH8IY): Random Chance or Deus ex Machina?

Here's a funny one. I pressed down all three buttons on my mouse at the same
time while the pointer was on the pine window (sgi 4D/35, IRIX 4.0.5, Pine
3.91) and the compose-bug-report function came up. It seems to be
reproducible. Since the bug seems to want to report itself, I thought I'd
oblige and send it along. I don't see this as a pressing problem (unless
taken literally, in which case it is - sorry for the pun), but I just thought
you should know...

	Not so strange....and not a bug.

	What screen comes up would depend on where you are in pine and
what is in the paste buffer for your mouse.  Just for fun, after reading
you message I moved my mouse into the pine window (main menu) and depressed
all three buttons.  I ended up in a compose session with an address from
my address book in the To: field.  Why?  Well, my mouse paste buffer
contained thac.  In the main menu the "t" and the "h" are undefined.
So, the "a", "c" key strokes were taken......

	So, no mystery....and no bug.
