Subject: Taking Addresses to a Distribution List

Hi!  Can someone tell me if there is a way to "Take the Address" of an 
incoming Pine message, and put it automatically into a Distribution List?
Sometimes when writing in newsgroups, you will get a lot of people e-mailing
for a synopsis or whatever -- it would be very handy if you could just 
take their names into a Distribution List.

I've also wondered if there is a Top of File/End of File instead of 
having to hit ^Y/^V over and over.

    Yes!  Use ^W^Y and ^W^V .

Pine is kind of dumb about this.  If you are Taking only a single address
it figures you want to add a simple entry to your address book instead of
to a distribution list.  If you are taking more than one address, it gives
you the opportunity to add to a list.  There is a workaround of sorts.  If
you Select the message with the ; command, and then do Apply Take instead
of just Take, it will allow you to add to a list.  Pine 3.92 will work
better.  Thanks.
