Subject: Re: IMAP and PC Pine for Windows questions

Here's another question:

* How can I put commas in a customized header?  In Unix Pine
  I use environment variables, e.g., $ORGANIZATION - do env
  variable work in PC Pine?  Even if they do, I'm curious
  how to put commas in a customized header without using
  an env variable.

Thanks much,
Nancy

I have a few questions about using PC Pine for Windows with a PPP 
connection.

* When I specify the folder directory that's on my host, to be accessed
  with IMAP, what is the best host name to use?  Both the shell (e.g.,
  {shell.foo.com}Folders/[]) and the smtp host (e.g., {mail.foo.com}Folders/[]) 
  work but I'm wondering which is better, or if it matters.  These have
  different IP numbers, so they really do seem to be different.

* Is it possible to have Pine running more than once?  When I try to start
  Pine a second time by double clicking on the Pine icon, it just maximizes
  the already running version of Pine.  I'd like to be able to run one Pine
  to access one host and another Pine to access another host.  I realize
  I could use the incoming-folders and folder-collections variables to specify
  different hosts, but I'd like to be able to access them simultaneously.

* Is there a compiled version of pcpine_w that lets you change the From header?

Please post any tips you have for using PC Pine for Windows!

Thanks,
Nancy

If both machines have the same folders, one of them is probably NFS
mounting from the other (or a third).  Getting NFS out of the look is
always recommended.

Not that I am aware of.  You can change the username and user-domain in
PC-Pine though...

You can include commas in a quoted string, e.g.

	X-Warning: "this is a ,,,,, comma test"

Thanks for the info David.  Some more questions are below...

Other than asking the sys admin, how can I tell which is the NFS
mounted one?

This does work but the username is what is suggested when you do the
IMAP log in, so you need to delete it and type in your real username.

But then the quotes show up - does anyone know how to get around
that in PC Pine for Windows?
