Subject: Answering messages in Pine 3.91. Bug?

Hello,

when I reply a message from my inbox, the message becomes marked with an 
'A', but if I'm replying a message and I postpone the composition, then the 
behavior is not the same: there is no mark identifying the fact that the 
message has been answered (even I've sent the answer).

Please, post the answers in this group.

Thank you,

Fernando Tricas

Yup, it's a bug... but one that's hard to fix until we move to the next
generation c-client libraries later this year.

Well, as Walter Cronkite would have said, "That's the way it is" ... sorry
if you don't understand the Cronkite reference, but that's the way pine
does it.  Not gonna debate if it's a bug or not, just telling you that's
the way it works, nothing wrong on your end ... If you want to mark it 'A'
you can * (shift+8) then tag it A ... Hope this helps ... G'Day

PS:  I would appreciate it if you would also e-mail me a copy of your
reply or followup to this post.  I do read this newsgroup regularly, and
would not ordinarily ask that, but my ISP, (EPIX aka Eastern Pennsylvania
Internet eXchange) is quite incompetent and has serious problems with
their newsserver, usually only getting about 30% of the posts from the 
outside world.  Thank you very much.
