in PINE 3.91 can I:

- respond to a message posted to a newsgroup without sending an email 
copy to the author

- choose to respond to the author and the newsgroup, and then when asked 
for confirmation, decide to only send it to the author, and not post it?

if so, please say how.
if I am being unlcear, please let me know

    Simply press 'R' for reply.  Pine should ask you whether to reply to 
the newsgroup.  If you say yes, you can additionally reply to the author 
at the same time by putting the cursor in the header and pressing Ctrl-R 
for Rich Headers in order to fill in the To: field.  If you don't use the 
Ctr;-R technique, your reply will go only to the newsgroup.

    Again, before you send it, put the cursor in the header and press 
Ctr-R for Rich Headers.  You can manipulate the Newsgroups: and To: 
fields to your heart's content.  Then send it.
