Dear all,

I've read the help , but i cant see a straightforward way of including several
mail files within a compose session:
By this i mean: how can i include the text of mails i have received , in a message
i am composing , but without using the cut/paste buffer.
Its a common feature in mny other mail tools , but not pine it seems.
Any pointers appreciated,
Regards,Tim.

    To the best of my knowledge, no current version of Pine allows you to
do what you want WITHOUT using export/readfile.  Personally, I think this
is a design shortcoming of an otherwise fine product.  Export/readfile can
simply be a pain, but there is currently no way around it, so far as I
know.  (Pine Development Team, are you listening?)

If you have the "enable-aggregate-cmd-set" feature selected in the
Setup/Config screen, you can select several messages, then use "ar"
(apply reply) or "af" (apply forward) to reply to, or forward, all of
them and include the text.  Then edit the message and/or headers to
suit your needs...
