Subject: Problem with pine

I have noticed some interesting (and inconsistent) behavior in Pine,
concerning the message that is selected upon first entering a given
folder. 

I have multiple inboxes.  When I move between inboxes, Pine automatically
selects the last message in the inbox.  This behavior is consistent
regardless of the sorting variable I use.

If I move between folders (say, in my ~/Mail collection, the message
currently selected by Pine varies, depending upon the sorting criterion I
am using.

In my ~/Mail folder colection, if I sort by reverse date, Pine
automatically starts by selecting the first message in the folder.  If I
sort by date, Pine automatically selects the last message in the folder. 
I regard this as both sensible and desirable behavior, as the most recent
message gets selected first, regardless of the sorting criterion.

I used to have just the one incoming mailbox, sorting by reverse date.  To
get Pine to open at the first message in the mailbox (ie, that with the
most recent date), I used the "initial-keystroke-list" feature, and just
jumped right into my INBOX upon starting Pine.

Now, I have multiple incoming mailboxes, and so the initial-keystroke-list
feature is only useful for the very beginning of a Pine session, as in all
subsequent moves between incoming mailboxes, it jumps to the last message
in the mailbox.  This is a most undesirable feature, if you are sorting by
reverse date, as you always end up starting with the oldest message. 

My current solution has been to sort by date, rather than reverse date.
The ideal behavior would be if switching between inboxes corresponded to
the switching between folders in a folder collection.

Has anyone else noticed this behavior, or can anyone suggest a better
workaround than simply giving in to a different sorting criterion?

David Cartledge

I am using 3.93 version of pine. I have noticed that it can't handle the mails,
while sending, of bigger size. I have tried to send the mails which are more
than 200 lines. It can't send them. The message which it displays is as follows
		sending mail 30% complete (something like this)
The if I see the process status, yes I use unix machine (IRIX), it shows two
sendmail processes. The pine does not complet the sendind, fcc operation. If I 
kill the two sendmail processes, the SMTP connection gets lost.

Has anybody witnessed this problem? Any solutions.
