Subject: Using PINE on a mac.

Hi,

	When I dial-in to my university account and attempt to read my new  
email via Pine, I get mixed lines of characters and message headers on the  
screen making it unreadable, it seems to write over itself without  
refreshing the screen.  When I logon I set the term to VT100, is there a  
better emulation?  I'm using ZTerm and I believe it's setup properly.

Thanks for any information that you can provide,
Tim Livingston

ZTerm users on our system have reported the same problem.  All of the 
following contribute to the cure:
o Make sure you are using a recent version of ZTerm (preferably 1.0.1, 
  but at least 1.0b3).
o Make sure ZTerm is set for VT102 terminal emulation, not PC/ANSI.
o If possible on your host, select VT102 at login, not VT100.
o Make sure your terminal window is sized at 24 lines by 80 characters.  
  The current size is shown at the bottom of the window; drag the size box 
  until it is 24 X 80.
o Make sure you are using a monospaced font sized to fit the 24 X 80
  window size (typically Monaco 9 for a small screen, Monaco 12 for a
  large screen, or ZTerm's built-in "terminal font" in 9 pt or 12 pt).

Under Zterm, under Settings->Terminal, trying turning Auto-Line feed on 
(or off) and see if that makes a difference...

So you use a Mac at home - but you do not use Pine on it.
Pine rather runs on the other end of the line, right?
(I here I was thinking that I have missed the release for the Mac version.)

Looks like the screen setup in your side does not match the stuff on the
other side.  You had better have a look at your terminal settings.

There is.  But you should not use anything you cannot communicate with.

>I'm using ZTerm and I believe it's setup properly.

Belief is what you should use when you go to church!
