In UNIX Pine 3.87, how do I set the quote chars to ':_' or
'>_'? Any comments will be appreciated.

Put this script in a file named customquotes:

- -------- CUT HERE ---------
#! /bin/csh -f
set MYCHARS = ":_ "
sed s/"^> "/"$MYCHARS"/g < $1 > ~/pico.$$
cat ~/pico.$$ > $1
rm ~/pico.$$
- -------- CUT HERE ---------

Make it executable (chmod 700 customquotes), and point Pine's alternate 
editor at it.

Reply to a message. Hit ^_  ( <control> _ ) to change the leading "> " to 
the value of MYCHARS.

   If you use "ispell" as your alternate editor add the following line, so the script
   looks like:

   #!/bin/csh -f
   set MYCHARS = ":_ "
   sed s/"^> "/"$MYCHARS"/g < $1 > /tmp/pico.$$
   cat  /tmp/pico.$$ > $1
   rm -f /tmp/pico.$$
   exec ispell $1
