Greeting from Portland, Oregon.

I have a pine question I have not been able to get an answer to.  I have a pine 
folder with a couple of hundred messages that I want to send the same broadcast 
e-mail message to.  The Address Book is too much work for this one shot broadcast 
message thing, and I don't want to use macros via my communications program.  Too 
slow.

Any ideas?   Thanks.

How about 
egrep '^From:' mailfoldername | sed -e 's-^From:--' | sort | uniq > list

That willgive you a list of all the people on the folder.  That list can
either be pasted into the address book by hand editing it outside of
pine, or you can do a cleaver xargs command with it.
