Hi,

I was previously using Pine at university, but now I am working and I have
got Pine by FTPand built it.  Everything seems to work fine, but I am not
getting a '+' symbol in the status column of the index screen to denote
personal email.

As I am on a few mailing lists this makes sorting my mail each morning
quite difficult.  I thought it might be because I hadn't got my address in
the alternative addresses list, but I have entered all possible
working permutations and combinations of my address and still no luck.

Can anyone help?

	When you get an email with your address in the To: field 
cut the entire To: field (minus the To:, right) and paste that into
the alternative addresses list.

	Then quite and restart pine....or maybe even go to a different
folder and back again.  The "+" should now be visible.

Thanks, it works now.  All that had happened was that I hadn't quit and
restarted.  I just never thought of that. =o)

That bit of advice would be a good thing to put on the config/setup help
screen, unless it is already and I just missed that too.
