Subject: subset of news

1st question:

I need to setup pine to look at a subset of my news list.  When I put a
value into the nntp-server, the news-collections gets filled in with the
nntp name.  I added the subset news group in the [ ] space and when I
restart pine, it says that it is empty, but I know it is not.

2nd question:

I want to find out if you can change the character that Pine uses to precede
each line of text when replying to a message?

Thanks for any assistance.

What, specifically, did you try?  You should be able to use something like
"*{server/nntp}[comp.*]" to limit the collection to the comp hierarchy...

Not until Pine 3.92 comes out...
