--------
I AM A NEW ENTRANT IN THE WORLD OF INTERNET.
MY COMPANY HAD RECEIVED YOUR DOCUMENT "SECRETS OF PINE 3.9" AND
I HAVE GONE THRU IT BEFORE TRYING TO USE PINE.
WHILE USING PINE I AM FACING CERTAIN DIFFICULTIES. SPECIALLY IN THE AREA OF
'SETUP' & 'CONFIG'.
ACTUALLY I WANT TO CREATE TWO SEPERATE FOLDERS FOR 'READ MAIL' & 'DESPATCHED
MAIL' SEPEARTLY i.e. WHENEVER I READ ONE MESSAGE FROM 'INBOX',
IT SHOULD MOVE TO 'READ MAIL' FOLDER AUTOMATICALLY, SIMILARLY ALL
MAIL WHAT I HAVE SENT SHOULD MOVE TO 'DESPATCHED MAIL' FOLDER.
IT WIIL BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED, IF I GET DETAIL DOCUMENTS REGARDING PINE 
AND ALSO YOUR SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO USE PINE EFFICIENTLY.
WAITING FOR AN EARLY REPLY.
THANK YOU,

You can do this (and also see help about doing it!) in Pine's Setup 
Configuration screen.

*  Start Pine (version 3.91)
*  Type "S" (Setup) then "C" (Configuration)
*  Look down the list of options.

You can get help on any item by putting your cursor on it and typing "?"

The items you are particularly interested in are:

Saving copies of messages you send
----------------------------------
default-fcc		Set this to the name of the folder to store a copy
			of each message you send.

Keeping read mail elsewhere
---------------------------
read-message-folder	Set this to the name of the folder to store the
			messages you have read.
auto-move-read-msgs	Selecting this will let Pine automatically move
			your read mail to the above folder as you quit.
			If you don't set this option Pine will ask you
			whether you want to move the messages as you quit.

Finally a request... Please could you stop using ALL CAPITALS in messages 
you send out?  They are very hard to read, and capitals are usually 
reserved for "shouting" about things that annoy you (LIKE PEOPLE SENDING 
MESSAGES TYPED IN CAPITAL LETTERS! :-)

Cheers,

Mike Brudenell                                         <[email-masked]>
