Subject: pine for PC, Mac

Hi Pine people,

I've been converted to the Pine religion. It's a good mailer, I use it 
regularly on my unix box (hp-ux 9.01)

One complain: I cannot switch folders by simly typing the folder name. I 
have a lot of mail folders, and looking for one is often harder than 
simply typing the name I know.

Another complain: The news reader does not tell me if there are 'new news'.
I have other readers (Tin or Nuntius in Mac) that flag the news folder 
that contain messages I have'nt seen yet.

But anyway, these are minor comments.

Now a couple of questions:

Is there a Mac Version of Pine?

The PC version, what network software requirement has? Does it save the 
folders in the local disk?

Thank you,

Frederic Udina

>simply typing the name I know.

I do this all the time.  'g', then I am prompted for folder name.  If I type
part of the name in followed by <TAB>, it completes the name if possible.
Isn't this what you want and then some?
