Subject: Pine 3.94 Problems

Hey All,

The University just upgraded to 3.94, and I am having some difficulty with it.

1) I can *ALMOST* post to newsgroups, but when I try to send it off, it
tells me that no NNTP Server has been designated (I'm using NewsWatcher to
post this).  Now, the reason that I can read from Pine is obviously thata
server has been designated.  What to do? 

2) Can't view a GIF file sent to me as an attatchment.  I think that it's
because I'm not designating the viewer properly, but I have the paths down
correctly (I think) for mailcap and mime.  The "Help" response says that
it's not necessary to name a viewer, but it doesn't work with (e.g.
"Image/GIF) or without ("No Value ...") a name.

3) My sent-mail folder is now saving my sent mail under my name, not the
names of the people that I sent the messages to.  This means that in some
cases, I have to look through a bunch of the message bodies to find a
message that I sent.

Hope that someone can help.

Thanks in Advance,

Matt

I'm using this in my ~/.mailcap file:
# The following line causes the xv program to be used to display all
# image types if the DISPLAY variable is set (indicating the user is
# using X).  (xv is written by John Bradley, [email-masked].  There
# are also other X image viewer programs you could use, such as xloadimage.)
image/*; xv %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"

Help!  I have Pine 3.94 and WAS able to view my status line, that is up
until 2 days ago.  Now there's nothing in the left-hand column...just the
number of the messages.

I want to be able to see it when I delete a message (i.e., "D") and when
someone sends an email directly to me (i.e., "+").

Is this a problem with Pine or my ISP?

Thanks,

Adele
