Subject: How to resend mail?

Maybe I'm suffering a mental block, but is there an easier way to resend
a message in the sent-mail folder, without doing a forward and
re-entering all the header info. It would be nice if you could also edit
to TO: field. 

Cheers,

Use B(ounce) command (you may need to enable it in S(etup) C(onfig) menu).
This should do the work (althoug you cannot change the To: field, you can 
add a new Resent-To: field).

Happy pining! (I hope this word doesn't mean anything bad)

Just move your cursor over the one you want to sent, and type a "c" for 
compose.

I missed the original question, but I don't think this answer is the one 
you want...

"C" *always* starts composing a brand new message.  What your cursor is 
positioned over is irrelevant.

"R" (reply) starts a reply to the person who sent you the current 
message.  Their e-mail address is filled in automatically from the 
message you currently have selected, and you are given the chance to 
include the text of the original message to provide context.

"F" (forward) forwards the message on to a third party.  Thus if user A
send user B a message, and B then forwards it to C, C received the message
marked as being from B.  If C selects "reply" the reply will be sent to B. 
Whilst forwarding B is given the chance to add text to the message they
are forwarding. 

"B" (bounce) *resends* the current message.  This is extremely useful 
when a you have received a message that someone else should deal with 
(eg, perhaps you are manning a Help Desk).  In the above example, if user 
B *bounces* the message to user C, user C receives it marked "from" user 
A.  This means they can just hit "R" to reply straight to the original 
author (user A).  Bouncing a message simply passes the message on; you 
don't get a chance to add to the message.  User C is told that it came 
via B by "Resent-from:" header lines.

The Bounce command is not available by default (to keep Pine's basic 
command set simple for new users).  You must go into the Setup 
Configuration screen (S then C from the Main Menu) and select the 
"enable-bounce-command" feature.

Hope this helps!

As does the bounce command?
