Subject: Automated logins in Pine - how

When I read mail remotely via IMAP, Pine asks for username and password.
Can this be automated?

Borek,

>    When I read mail remotely via IMAP, Pine asks for username and password.

You should be able to set your userid in pc-pine's Setup/Config:

# Your login/e-mail user name
user-id=jasafir

Otherwise, unix pine should offer to use the same username on the remote 
imap server as on your current login.  As far as automating the process, 
to my knowledge your only option would be to use "initial-keystroke-list" 
in Setup/Config and get the sequencing right.  Also, make sure that if 
you put your password in there, you at least "chmod o-r ~/.pinerc".  I'd 
like to see increased imap login functionality in future versions of 
pine, but I don't know what changes, if any are planned...  Viel Gluck!
