Walter Alter ([email-masked]) asked:

: i tried to manually edit the pine .addressbook with pico but found out 
: that it doesn't work that way.  when i switched back to my saved original 
: .addressbook it displayed my entries across the entire screen with the 
: addresses running off the screen to the right.  it appears that pine is 
: interpolating extra tab stops in the display although the .addressbook 
: file appears normal.  i then resaved the .adressbook under a different name 
: and deleted both it and the .addressbook.lu so that pine could start 
: over.  starting with a virgin .addressbook and entering a sampling of my 
: email recipients, pine still displays its columns spread across the 
: screen.  anyone have an idea on this?

: thanks
