Subject: Forwarded messages not flagged as such

It would be nice if Pine set a separate 'F' flag on those messages that have
been forwarded (or bounced).  Is that possible or is there some limitation
in the underlying IMAP stuff?  I regularly have to forward received messages
on to others for comment before answering the sender and it's sometimes 
difficult to keep track of which messages I've forwarded.

I suppose that I could get round this by manually setting  the 'Important'
flag on messages (I don't currently use that flag in its intended way) or by
moving messages between folders to keep track of which have been forwarded
but it seems a bit messy?

One other thing...  in Pine 3.91 the 'Deleted' flag moves with a message
if you save it into another folder.  This seems a little crazy since the
most common time this happens is when you have previously marked a message
for deletion but then decide that you didn't really want to do that and
save it to another folder instead? 

How about a clear-delete-flag-on-save option?

Thanks,

Andy.

Andy,
The IMAP4 spec does define a small fixed set of message flags, but also 
allows for the possibility of some client-defined flags.  Pine does not
currently support the latter class of flags, but we may add that after we 
have everything upgraded to the IMAP4 spec...

As for preserving the deleted flag on Save: we agree, and this will be 
fixed in 3.92.
