I can.  Mine's set to 99.12 and I'm never bugged by those (to me)
annoying messages.  I think you can set it ahead farther than that, but
I seem to recall a reliable source posting to this group a while back that
Pine assumes we're in the 20th century; if you want to go beyond 1999, you
need to specify the century (e.g. - "2000.01" for January 2000).

	Close, to get to the year 2000 just add "1" to 1999.  

	i.e. 100=2000 so if you intend to use pine that long then
170 would bring you to 2070.  :-) :-)
