*************************************************************************
*  The Pine Robot has determined that your message was sent from an     * 
*  obsolete release of Pine.  Naturally, our focus is on the current    *
*  version, which may well solve the problem you are experiencing, so   *
*  please ask your system administrator to install the latest release.  *
*  It's available at  ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/pine.tar.Z      *
*                                                                       *

This is an automated response to your Pine[R] bug report.  The purpose of
this message is to: 1) acknowledge receipt of your report, 2) apologize in
advance for the fact that you may not receive any other response to it,
and 3) tell you how to get more information or help. 

Pine is now used by literally millions of people around the world, and
thousands more every day.  Not surprisingly, the number of messages sent
to our "pine-bugs" address has become enormous.  Since we receive no
funding to support anyone outside the University of Washington, it is no
longer possible to answer all of them individually.

Other sources of help:

 o In addition to Pine's context-sensitive internal help text, also read
   the Release Notes (the R command on the Main Menu.)

 o Check out the Pine Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list.  To get a
   copy by email, simply REPLY to this message, or send any message to:
        [email-masked]

 o Check with your local support staff.  If you are not sure how to
   contact them, try sending a very polite note to "postmaster"
   on your system, asking that your inquiry be directed to the help desk.

 o If you can't get any help from your local support staff (or you
   *are* the local support staff), consider sending a message to the
   world-wide "pine-info" email list at:
         [email-masked]
   or post to the comp.mail.pine newsgroup (pine-info and comp.mail.pine
   are linked together, so there is no need to both send email and post).
   Your message will be seen by thousands of Pine users and system
   administrators, one of whom may have just the information you seek.

 o If you are handy with FTP or WWW tools, you may find some useful
   documentation on our Pine Information Center servers:
        ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine
        http://www.cac.washington.edu/pine

 o If you really, *really* need to get in touch with the Pine development
   team directly, send a message to:
         [email-masked]
   However: please try all the other alternatives first, and understand
   that because so many people are now sending messages to that address
   as well --many of which are inquiries that could be answered by reading
   the documentation or FAQ-- it is no longer possible for us to respond
   to all of them.

Note that we get many questions that are not actually about Pine. In case
your inquiry concerns programs such as talk, chat, or IRC, or problems
with disk space on your system, or with unknown/invalid email addresses,
please contact your local computer support staff.  However, we still
welcome actual bug reports and suggestions.

With sincere apologies for this impersonal response,
