Ignore it.  I discovered it's fixed in 3.92.  Great!

Not actually a bug, merely a misfunction.

When enabling the mouse control in xterm it seems impossible to use the
X Window text mark and paste.  Actually the text cannot be marked anymore.

I don't know if it is possible to made mouse sensible only the meaningful
regions of the xterm window (those displaying pine commands) while
leaving the text part behaving the normal way.

Great product anyway!!

	*Not True*

	Simply use the shift+M1 to mark and shift+M2 to paste....

	Please read help associated with functions.....

        FEATURE: enable-mouse-in-xterm

This feature controls whether or not an X terminal mouse can be used with
Pine.  If set, and the $DISPLAY variable indicates that an X terminal is
being used, the left mouse button on the mouse can be used to select text
or commands.

Note: if this feature is set, the behavior of xterm cut-and-paste is also
modified.  It is necessary to hold the shift key down while clicking left
or middle mouse buttons for the normal xterm cut/paste operations.
