Subject: Save me from myself?

I have too often "replied" to a group when I really meant to 
reply to an individual.  (I know that pine asks me if I want to send it 
to a different address or to all recipients and that I have to say "yes" 
if I do, but I repeatedly find that my fingers are working faster than my 
mind.)  Is there any way to disable these functions so I have to manually 
*add* a cc if I want to send the document to a group?  I would be 
grateful (and my many correspondents would be really grateful) if you 
could suggest a solution.

>could suggest a solution.

Upgrade to version 3.92

It asks you:

Followup to newsgroups, Reply by email to author, or Both?

And you have to press F, R, or B

Pressing Y will just produce an error message.

Hope this helps.

Well, if you don't want to read news with pine (and I don't see why you
would prefer pine to say tin...) remove the nntp server in your setup,
or define an unexsistend one, or put an empty value in.

Hope this helps.
