Subject: PROBLEM: Taking addresses in list mode

Hi,

	I was wondering if I might find some help here.  I am using PINE
3.91 on an RS600 system (AIX V3). 

	I run a mailing list where I am continually "taking" addresses to
distribution lists.  My problem is as follows: 

	When the mail is addressed to <listname>-request (like it's
supposed to be) or anything besides my own address) I can "take" the
address using list mode ('L'). This will allow me to take the address and
add it to the end of a distribution list. 

	However, when someone uses *my* address, I cannot use the list
mode.  Is there anyway around this? 

	At present I have to cut and paste those addresses into my
addressbook, and it wastes so much time.  Responses via mail would be
greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance for your help. :)

Pine3.91 bypasses the Single vs. List mode screen if there is only one 
address, on the assumption that you would want to create a single 
addressbook entry for that one address.  That was an incorrect 
assumption.  Pine3.92 will not do that, so should act the same way it 
acts when the person mails to list-request.  There is a work-around that 
*may* be less painful than using cut and paste.  If you Select the 
message (;<CR>) then Apply Take (AT) you will go into List mode in the 
TakeAddress screen instead of bypassing it.
