Subject: How to Export Text?

I'd like to be able to export selected text from a message instead
of an entire message--and also append text to a file in a later
export.  Is this possible....or just too much for little pine?

I suppose you can just E - Export the message, and then edit it in an 
editor when you exit Pine.

That is not too difficult.

I've discovered that I can use vi as an alternative editor in pine,
using it when I wish.  With vi running I can export specific lines
of text to a file; I can also run a command and have the output of
that command inserted into the text.

The command for the first is :x,yw filename (where x and y are line
numbers).  The command for the second is :r !cmd (where cmd is the
command you want to run and whose output you want in the text).
