Subject: Pine turns off my messages!

From: [email-masked] (Roland Lee)

I have just noticed that the new version (3.93 I believe)
disables my ability to receive talk requests.  This is rather disturbing,
so I was wondering if there was a way to prevent Pine from doing this.
I looked in the man page for pine, and I couldn't find anything related
to talk or mesg.

	Thanks,
	Roland Lee

	Are you talking about uclink?  It doesn't turn off messages, 
messages is turned off by default so you have to put mesg y somewhere in 
.login or .cshrc as the defaults would override it if you put it in the 
wrong place...

Try looking at Pine's Setup Configuration screen (see that word "Setup" on
Pine's Main Menu? :-)

This screen lets you tailor Pine in many ways.  And each item has built-in
help (just put your cursor on the item and type the "Get Help" command
listed on the menu at the bottom of the screen).

To give you a toe-hold look on the first screenful at the top of the list
of features for something called "allow-talk".

Cheers,

Goto Setup->Config and select the feature "allow-talk".
