one more: 4) show the FCC by default in the address book. It's so hard to
	figure out which aliases have agood FCC and which don't. Or allow
	us to select which fields the address book is to show (some folx have
	wide screens, ya know?)..

Thx and cheers

3) There should be a way to add any header wanted in compose w/o having to
   put it into the rich header/default header set. Not all outgoing mails
   need some headers, but some do (like fax etc).
   This is the biggest misfeature that makes me go back to elm.

If you just put the header name, but no value for it, in the custom header
list, you can fill in the value at compose time, but if you don't, the
(empty) header will not be included in the message.

Is this not sufficient?

p.s. Your and Ted's other requests will be in 3.92.

5) allow mass subscription to newsgroups.  it's a hell on earth to type 
a, sci.*, ^x, s 20 times to subscribe to 20 different newsgroups.  can't 
they let us tag the list and subscribe all at once?

It's probably a lot easier that way.
But it also takes a hell of a time to code such a thing.
I suggest you simple edit your .newsrc and all them.

I use "nngrep -a sci.all > .newsrc" to do that.
One of the many reasons why I use "nn".  :-)

21? ) Easy (standard) way of having an alternate From: line in the
      Setup-Config
22  ) possibility to make Pine include files UUEncoded or BinHex encoded
      rather than having to UUEncode (or BinHex) them yourselves and then
      include those in your mail

Sorry if I am repeating someone else's point: I missed the beginning 
of this thread. Sorry also if I have merely failed to RTFM or UTFM, 
where U=understand. Anyway:

23 ) when one says q to pine one is immediately asked 
Really quit pine? 
     and only after answering that question is one asked things like
Save the 1 read message in "received"? 
     and
Expunge the 1 deleted message from "INBOX"? 

I would rather be asked the latter kind of question _before_ having 
to answer the former one because I might not quit if reminded there
were still some messages lying around.
