Subject: shut off message refusal when running pine?

When I run pine (UNIX) it seems that it enters "mesg n" status
meaning refuse write(1) on my terminal. That makes it impossible
for me to see talk requests that I find very important.
Is it possible to configure this somehow, or work around it?

If you are using 3.93 or 3.94, there is a configurable switch,
"allow-talk".  Just flip this to on, and that will allow talk
requests through.
