Subject: New Feature Request

I thought I would add my feature request.

Where I previously worked, we had the capability to do an on-the-spot 
query against a whois file to determine userids.  We had about 6000+ 
users so sometimes it was impossible to keep your addressbook up to date.

It would be nice to have that kind of query ability to build a list of 
userids.

Just a thought.

We are planning to add some form of directory service support in Pine
4.something, but in the mean time you could set up a cron script to
build a global-addressbook that Pine could use.  6000 entries should
be quite manageable by Pine...
