Dear fellow Pine users: 

I am forwarding this bug report, acting on the suggestion of the 
pine-bugs autoanswer I just received. Has anyone else experienced (and, 
better yet, solved) this problem ?

Thanks for any help or pointers.

Juan

Subject: "@" breaks WinPine 3.91 when typed on Compose window

Dear Pine Developers:

We have been using Pine for Windows as the primary mail application at 
our campus, but we are being bitten by an irksome bug.

Whenever you type an ampersand in the Compose window, be it as part of 
the text or as part of an address, Pine starts misinterpreting spaces as 
carriage returns. In other words, if you should happen to type an 
ampersand (@) for any reason, from there on whenever you press the 
spacebar you get a carriage return, and you cannot get spaces anymore.

We are primarily using Windows 3.1, Peter Tattam's Winsock, v.2, MS-DOS 6, 
on a variety of machines.

Is there a workaround for this bug, or a planned bugfix release ? Having 
to postpone, exit WinPine and return, in order to continue using spaces 
is quite a drag.

Thanks for your help.
