Subject: Pine 'metoo' behavior

From: [email-masked] (Steve Ferguson)

I've been using Pine for months without any problems.  Recently, we
installed a different mail transport agent on our mail server (switching
from standard Berkeley sendmail to smail).  It appears that Pine's default
behavior is 'metoo', meaning that if my name appears in an alias list, I
get a copy of the message (which I don't want).  Since the default behavior
of Berkeley services is to *not* resend mail to the sender unless
explicitly requested, I haven't noticed this feature of Pine until now.
I've looked through all of the options under S)etup C)onfig and found
nothing intuitively relevant.  I've been assured by a person-with-clue that
our smail process should behave the same way that sendmail does, and to
verify that myself, I tried sending mail using UCB mail and defining 'set
nometoo' in my .mailrc file.  The results were as I expected.  With 'set
nometoo', I didn't receive a copy of my message.  I've also tried sending
my mail to a local sendmail process instead of punting it to our smail
server via SMTP.  This did not resolve the problem.

What I'd like to know is: Is there a way to 'set nometoo' (as with UCB
mail) under Pine so that I don't receive copies of messages I send to
aliases that I'm in?

Any help would be geniunely appreciated. :)

  I assume that the binary file you wanted to extract is an attachment to
an e-mail, thus in MIME format.
  When you're viewing that e-mail, press V for View. Then use the arrow
keys to select the attachment. Press S for Save (to a file). Enter the
file name you want the binary to be saved as. That's it.

There is no way to set the metoo behavior.  Pine's exec of sendmail
doesn't set the parameter one way or the other, so you're getting the
default set in the mail transport agent configuration.  Apparently the
sendmail default was set opposite of what the smail default is.  If you
know of an SMTP server that has the default the way you want it, you could
set smtp-server to that host and that would probably fix it.  The next
version of pine will have a way to configure the arguments passed to the
program that is invoked, so you'll be able to set the behavior you want
with a command line argument.
