Subject: Reply without ">" chars

Here's one I haven't figured out, is there a way to reply to a note
and not have pine add ">" characters at the beginning of the line?

Thanks, Daniel

As far as I recall it, this is a define in the sources. So only recompiling can change this.

Ciao,
 Michael

PS: Perhaps PINE 3.92 will do it? :-)

I have a related question:  Is there any way of removing all the >>>s
from messages that have been forwarded to you before you pass them on?  
Ciao.  AK

Friend, 

Export the note to your home directory.  For simplicity's sake, 
give it a one letter filename. 
 
Open the compose message screen.  Type in your message.  Position 
the cursor a few lines below your message.  Press control-R, type 
in the one-letter filename.  The note will appear (with the first 
line of the note on the line where you positioned the cursor). 
 
Of course, if the note already had >'s in it when you first re- 
ceived it... 

Cordially, 
 
Jim

  I have been hacking pine to do this. because of the nature of the stream
filters inside pine it is very difficult.  So far I have not been
successful.  Another thing that i am trying to get it to do is to STOP
quoting a message once it hits a line of -----------------------'s (which
denote a forwardedmessage block on some mailers)

  If anyone has got this working let me know.

  The place to look is filters.c, look for the gf_prefix() function.

Yes, I've tried that, but I want to be able to use the reply function to 
automatically put in all the email addresses into the header of the 
reply.  I know I can then delete the note below and include an expunged 
copy of the note, but its not exactly user friendly.

Thanks, Daniel

    It may not be necessary to recompile Pine, *IF* you are using Unix 
Pine.  I use the shell script below to change the '>' characters to 
something else when I wish to.  This technique works provided you are not 
already using the alternate editor feature of Pine.  To use it, go into 
Config and enable-alternate-editor.  For the alternate editor, specify 
the shell script.  Then just invoke Ctrl-_ to make the change.  I am not 
a sed expert (I got this from someone else), but I suppose you could 
easily change it to _delete_ the leading '>' rather than just substitute 
for it.

Or just leave the editor setting blank, i.e.:

editor=

And then when you do ^_ you can specify whatever script or editor
you want.

>sed s/"^> "/"| "/g < $1 > ~/pico.$$

This is very cool - thanks for posting it!

Exporting is fine, but it creates a  garbage file you have to remember
to delete afterwards (or even  worse -- to exit  pine, delete it,  and
come   back).   I personally prefer    the method of  (F)orwarding the
message, entering    the  person's email  address,  then  removing the
unwanted crap on  top  by hitting  ^K  a few  times.  I  have very bad
memory and I hate checking for temp files.

    There seems to be a possible bug in Unix Pine 3.91.  Whenever I 
export a message to a file, the current date and time get appended to 
the first line, so that I have to edit out the trash.  Inconvenient.

Must be a local problem with your site.  I've never noticed it.
