Subject: Pine folders

I am currently supporting many users on a unix cluster.  I get a LOT 
of mail.  I find it very confusing to have all my old mail (by 
semester) in the folder list.  I would like to make it so I can 
access a folder that has a list of folders in it (it has the list of 
old mail)   
Can anyone make suggestions as to how I can put these folders 
somewhere else where they will be easily accessable, but not right 
under my nose?

Also, this may be in the bug-report area of your operation, but why 
does pine always try to mark messages as deleted when I browse my 
saved-messages folder?  I always find myself having to answer no to 
"expunge 6 messages from saved-messages?"

Thanks very much for any input.

What you want is called 'folder-collections'.  Rather than giving a long 
explanation here, try this, and if you still need help, feel free to 
email me or post a followup.

In pine type L to get to your folder list, then press ? for the help
screen, then space bar a few times, and you will see a pretty good
explanation of how to do it. 

Also in pine from (M)ain screen (s)etup (c)onfig highlight the line 
'folder-collections' and press ?
