Subject: Help! A small doubt

I have been pine for only a few days.
I want to know something.  How do I compose a mail offline?  I tried 
doing it by composing it in a text editor and then sending it as an 
attachment.  But my friend at the receiving end tells me that the 
attachment arrives as a jumble of ascii characters.

Is it possible to compose a message offline and then induct it into the 
message body once I get connected to the Internet?

Kindly help me out.

	You do as you have done....except you don't send the output
of your text editor as an attachment but you read it into the body
by use of ^R (Control-R)

Yes. Use the ^R (CTRL and R pressed together) command to be prompted for
file name being imported into the message body -- move the cursor to a
required possition of text before this.

Write the file with a suitable editor, and read it into pine <ctrl-r in
the message body>.

    Compose your message outside of Pine with a text editor.  Then
enter Pine and tell it you want to compose a message.  After filling in
the headers, you will be in the area where you would otherwise compose
your message.  Press the key combination ^R (Ctrl-R  Control-R) to 
"include" your meessage.  You will see a prompt asking you for the name
of the file you want to include.  Simply type in the filename you saved
your message under.  (If it is not in the current directory, be sure to
include the full path as well as the filename.)  That is all that is
necessary.  It is not necessary to send it as an attachment.
