Subject: Dist. lists

Is there any way with Pine to (T)ake an address and save it directly to a 
distribution list?  I hate having to save the address to my address book 
then go into it and manually enter the address into the dist. list.  

Isn't there a way to save the address directly into the dist. list?

thanks,
Joe DeRouen

	Sure.

	As you view the message with the address you want to add simply
type T(akeAddress).  When it asks you the "nickname" simply type the
name of the existing distribution list.  It will then ask you if you
want to replace the existing list or add to it.  I'll leave it to you
to select the appropriate answer.  :-) :-)

	Regards,

		Ed

Ed,

I just tried this, but it didn't give me the option for adding.  Just 
replacing.  I'm using Pine 3.91, maybe you're using a newer version that 
has this option?  Or perhaps I need to set something in my config?  
(choices, choices.. sigh) :)

Thanks!
Joe

Pine 3.91 had a bug such that you had to select the message (;) and
(A)pply (T)akeAddr to get it into a list.  The current Pine 3.93
release doesn't have that problem...

We have Pine 3.93. T(akeAddress) allows you to Add/append to a list. I
tried but wasn't able to add/append to a list in Pine 3.91.
