Subject: How to make Pine show headers and exit?

From: [email-masked] (George Stephens)

When I login I would like to have Pine 3.91 display the header list of my
current mail then exit automaticly. How can this be done? 

I can easily enter the index and see the headers using -i, but it will not
exit on its own. If I try the inputed characters feature like so: -Ii,q
to force it to go to the index page and then quit it will pop up a
message saying its processing the 'keystokes' and then quits. The header
list in the index page *never* gets displayed. Trying variations like
'-i -Iq' didnt work either. 

So how can I get the mail header list displayed and have it exit on its own?
I'm trying to use this in my .login script using tcsh.

Thanks for your help!

George S.

How about: cat /usr/spool/mail/geos |grep ^From |page

Should do the trick, and should also be a lot faster than loading up Pine
just to see what new mail you have! Oh, if you want to see the subject, you
could always use: 

	cat /usr/spool/mail/geos |egrep '^From|^Subject' |page
