Subject: Feature Request for Pine 3.92

I'd just like to make a feature request for the next version of pine.

It would be nice if there could be an option when posting/replying to 
newsgroups to allow it to make the post e-mail style instead of NNTP 
style.  For example, the way news reading is set up here, anyone from our 
domain can read news, however, only people from specific "secured" ip 
address can directly post.  People not at these "secured" ip address can 
post by sending their post to:  INSERT_NEWSGROUP_NAME@NEWSSERVER_ADDRESS 
(where they then do some verification a post the message).  So if you're 
looking to add a convenient feature, allowing this method of newsgroup 
posting would be nice.  (ie. when I type compose from within a newsgroup, 
it files in the "To:" line based on the above rule.)

Yey another useful feature in pine would be the ability to have several 
different alternate editors available.  Although there are multiple uses 
for the ability to execute a program/script while inside pine, one can 
only set up a single program to run.

BTW, I use the Alt-Editor to add prewritten answers to common questions 
that I get from users.  (I work as a sysadmin)

While on the topic of features, I think key mapping would be a brilliant
feature.  Many of us (who read mailing lists, etc.) use the same key
combinations over and over.  For instance I often delete everything in a 
folder with:  ;aad.  Also, if it were possible to have different sorts
for different folders.  On some of my high-volume mailing lists I like
to sort Ordered-Subject.  On others, I want it in date receive.

Thank you for a great product!
(When is the next version coming out?)  :-)
