> 	Question1:how do include a file into email?

If you have a plain text file that you want to include in to main body of
the message (to save you typing it in again)...

1.  Start composing your message.
2.  Put the cursor in the "Message Text" area, where you want the file's
    contents to be included.
3.  Give the Read File command (^R -- it's on the menu at the bottom of
    the screen)
4.  Type in the name of the file (or select it by typing ^T)

If you want to "attach" the file so that the recipient can "unpack" the
file back into an exact copy of your original (this also works for
non-text files)...

1.  Start composing your message.
2.  Put the cursor on the "Attchmnt" line up at the top of the screen.
3.  Type in the name of the file (or select it by typing ^T)

Note that "attaching" a file to your message in this way assumes that the
recipient is also using a mail program that knows about MIME and
MIME-attached files.  If they aren't then all they will see is gibberish.

> 	Question2:how to print a message from pine?

First select your printer (this will be remembered for future Pine
sessions)...

1.  Go to the Main Menu by typing M.
2.  Go to the Setup Printer screen by typing S then P.
3.  Select the appropriate printer and/or printing command for your
    system.
4.  Exit from the screen, returning to the Main Menu.

Now you need to select and print your message...

1.  Read the message.
2.  With the message on the screen give the Print command (Y -- it's on
    the menu at the bottom of the screen)
3.  Confirm you really do want to print the message.

Note that the "Attached to ANSI" printer option that looks so inviting is
for printing to a printer attached to your terminal (or micro running a
terminal emulator program).  Whether you are using a real terminal or a
micro with a terminal emulator, they MUST understand and support "ANSI
printing escape sequences" for the "attached-to-ANSI" option to work.  If
the don't all you will see is the message go by on the screen again.

Cheers,
