Subject: mailing list into addressbook- how ?

Hi.  I'm using PINE 3.89, it's a handy mail program.  I'd like to know how to
incorporate an ASCII file list of e-mail addresses into a group in the
ADDRESSBOOK.  Every few months a friend sends an updated list of addresses, and
I've tried manually inserting it into the PINE.ADDRESSBOOK but there are
obviously some hidden (non-ASCII ?) codes that I'm omitting coz PINE won't make
any sense out of the edited ADDRESSBOOK file.  Is there a more robust or easier
way of adding an ASCII list to the ADDRESSBOOK ?

Any info greatly appreciated,

	-Baz.  [email-masked]

With the latest Pines the TakeAddr command should work pretty well.  If
you use it on the message from your friend, it will let you put all the
addresses sent in the message into a list.  Or, you can read the pine
technical notes about address book format, and it will tell you about the
TAB characters that have to come between the nickname and fullname,
between fullname and addresses; and that the list of addresses is enclosed
in parentheses.
