Subject: Supressing automatic save of sent message

Hi, list!

The question: I have set Pine 3.91 to save sent messages by recipient. It 
works O.K. except when there is no To: line (it happens). Most annoying 
is the case of news posting. I don't then see Fcc header when composing, 
but if I hit ^R, I suddenly discovered that all news posting are saved in 
sent-mail folder. Pine makes it silently without even inform me about it.

Is it possible to supress it? I don't normally save EVERY mail or news I 
send. 

thanks in advance

The default action of Pine is NOT to automatically save any message you 
send.  To change this you have to set up the "default-fcc" configuration 
variable, which I presume you have done.

Once done this is now the default: for all messages (mail or News) you send.

If you want to temporarily suppress it for the message you are currently 
composing simply summon up the Rich Headers (^R with the cursor on a 
header field) and erase (^K) the Fcc: value.

If you keep forgetting the Fcc field consider setting up a default list 
of headers on the Setup Configuration screen that includes it.  Remember 
that this list REPLACES the default set, so remember to include the usual 
things like From, To, Subject, etc.

Cheers,
