Subject: Pine 3.93: [Sending mail | 0% |] message stays for ages!

Please, can anyone help me?

I've just upgraded from Pine 3.91 to Pine 3.93 on my Sun SPARC system (running
SunOS 4.1.3). I have *not* changed any of the default compile options.

When I used to send mail from Pine under 3.91, it would send it and instantly come
straight back with the "Writing Fcc" message. Under 3.93, I get the message
[Sending mail | 0% |] when I send a message, and this stays on the screen for up to
several minutes, during which time I can't do anything else. 

Why is this? And can I do anything to stop this, or to make it do its work in the
background? 

Thanks in advance,

 Tim Porter

Thanks,

I think that the problem may be partly due to my DNS. I have a dial-up modem 
link to the Internet, and I think the delay is being caused by DNS lookups.

However, I *didn't* have this problem under Pine 3.91.

Looking at the Pine code, I think that the relevant program is send.c, in
pine3.93/pine. But I don't have the programming knowledge to investigate it
further. Can anyone offer any help?? 

Regards,
