Subject: Where can I send a feature request?

I'd like to make a request to the Pine developers for a small
additional feature in future versions of Pine.  I've checked the Pine
Web pages and the FAQ, but I can't find an email address that
specifically calls for requests.  Does anyone know of such an address?

The feature I'd like to request is a Config option to specify the name
of the dead.letter file.  I'd like to be able to change "dead.letter"
to something like ".dead.letter".  That way, the file would be hidden
during Unix file listing.

>From the Main Menu or the Index screen use the "B" (Bug) command.  This
takes you to a screen offering three choices:

*  Contact your local support desk for assistance.

*  Report a bug back to the Pine Developers.

*  Send a suggestion for an improvement to the Pine Developers.

In passing, note that "dead.letter" is presumably being used as this is
the same filename used by a number of other UNIX mail programs.  The
oft-quoted BSD mail program (usually the command "Mail") uses exact same
filename (and presumably file format).

The advantage, obviously, is that one can postpone a message in one mailer
and resume it in another.

Cheers,

Ah, thanks.  I've even reported a bug before, and I never noticed that
third option.

> filename (and presumably file format).

*Shudder*  O Pine Developers, save us from "mail" and "elm"!

Thanks again,
