Subject: New Feature Request

Actually, two new feature requests, both for PC-Pine:

  1) I don't like things that beep at me when I make an erroneous
keystroke.  I especially don't like things that go "deedle, deedle,
deedle!" at me.  So, I would suggest an option that turns off beeping
completely (or at least makes it a very short, polite "blip", maybe even 
a "bip" ;)

  2) Seems like I have to run through a long gamut of questions every 
time I start PC-Pine and want to compose a message.  Seems to me the only 
thing it should have to ask for is my username and password when I first 
start it up.  I know that I can set "user-id" and "personal-name" in the 
pinerc file, but this is not a solution for a lab setting.  Is it 
possible to have PC-Pine finger (or equivalent) the IMAP server (or host 
of my choice) to acquire the user's full name?

  Thanks so much!

	I know the new Unix pine will have:

        FEATURE: quell-status-message-beeping

This feature affects Pine's behavior when it displays status message
(e.g., Error complaints, New mail warnings, etc).  Setting this feature
will not affect the display of such messages, but will cause those that
emit a beep to become silent.

	Maybe PC Pine will as well.....
