I have having a frustrating problem inPine.

If I have two message that come in and I want to edit them into
one message, I try to forward the first one to myself, then cut some 
stuff out.  I then forward the second message to myself and try to
paste the first message into the second.  NOthing happens.

Control ^ works just find.
Control K  cuts just as it's supposed.
Control U  will repaste INSIDE any message, but will not
		repaste into a new message.

Somewhere I read that perhaps esc  esc  U  would do it.  NOpe.

Is it impossible to cut and paste from message to message or am
I doing something wrong?

Please help.

Thanks,   Bob Corbett

Comes here Mr. Bob Corbett with this opinion in the "comp.mail.pine" group in
this article on 3 Feb 1995 11:50:15 -0800:

 +  Is it impossible to cut and paste from message to message or am
 +  I doing something wrong?

This feature currently is not avail. However what I would do is (E)xport the
first mail into $HOME and then read that file in while responding to the second.

Hope this helps.
