Yay!  The Pine development group has been incredible with their work on 
this version.  Every single minor new feature orbug fix I've been asking 
for is supposed to be in it.  Great work, guys!

Now, as long as I'm here, I'll add another request for a minor new 
feature...no new bugs in 3.92? ;)

Thanks, but you're just lucky.  Not everyone's feature requests (not even 
most of ours) will make it in.

3.92 is turning out to be chock-full o' code changes so it is probably
going to be more Beta-ey than 3.91 when it is first released.  (That word I 
just made up is pronounced BAY TAH EEE and it means it probably won't work
quite right for everyone. :-)

Hm.  Has my request for a flag to drop you into the composer with a given
file (possibly with headers, which Pine will use) been considered?  For
those of us who need/want to use newsreaders other than Pine, we would
love to be able to chuck whatever mail composer the newsreader furnishes
and use Pine instead.  I've looked at the Compose code, and it looks like 
it would be fairly easy to implement.

That's okay, just as long as you don't mean it won't work quite right for 
anyone. :)

I remember seeing your message and we still have it but have not
discussed it.  It sounds like a reasonable feature but it doesn't sound
totally trivial to implement, on first thought.  It will be considered.
Thanks.

Not all of us.  It wasn't me who wrote what you attributed to me
above. :)  I pronounce it "vita", like Latin for life.  And, that
"vee-tah", not "vih-tuh" like you strange furuhners pronounce
"vitamins".

(Just kidding.  But that *is* how modern Greek pronounces that letter,
Greek lost the "b" phoneme over a millenium ago.)
