WELCOME!

It's that time of year, when schools fill up with new students using Pine
for the first time.

I would like to unofficially (I'm just a Pine user, like you) welcome you
to the list/newsgroup and to invite you to read your Getting Started with
Pine and all the excellent context-sensitive help screens and prompts that
are part of Pine.

This will help you in getting the most out of Pine and will minimize the
bandwidth on the list/newsgroup with rather basic questions.  

To help discover many of the advanced features of Pine, go into Setup,
Configuration from the main menu and press ? on each feature.  This will
allow you to understand how you can customize your Pine for your own
tastes. 

Regards and good luck in school,

Don Sugarman, Pine user
