Subject: Reply to myself

I am a user of unix pine. Every time I try to reply to all when my
address appears under the cc: portion, I end up replying to myself as
well.

Is there any way to change this so that I will only reply to everyone
else without having to delete off my own address each time?

Also, whenever I decide to break up a paragraph in to two by pressing the
return key, I find
myself having to realign the remaining parts of the
paragraph or it will turn out some thing like this. Is there a way so that
I do not have to manually realign the rest of the mail line by line?

(By the way, in this case, the return key was pressed after the word
"find" and before the word "myself")

Many Thanks!

Your "reply to self" problems are stemming from Pine not recognising your
e-mail address in received messages (probably in their "To:" line) as
being your own.  Because of this it thinks it belongs to someone else, and
hence includes it in a "reply to all".

You need to persuade Pine that this other e-mail address really is you
too...

Make an exact note of the your address as it is appears in a message you
receive.  Now go to Pine's Setup Configuration screen (S then C at the
Main Menu) and look down the settings for "alt-addresses".  Put your
cursor on this variable and type ? to read the built-in help about it.
When you have done that you should understand what it's for and how to use
it to add the e-mail address you noted down as an alternative for "you".

As for word-wrapping... Pine's composer will happily start new lines
whenever the current line is full as you type.  However it will not
automatically re-word-wrap text if you split paragraphs as you describe.
(Remember that it is a simple text editor, not a word processor.)

However all is not lost: the ^J (Justify) command will re-word-wrap the
current paragraph and even out all the line lengths for you.

(Note that a paragraph is bounded by blank lines, or ones that are
indented.)

Cheers,

Do a control-J (^j) while the cursor is in a paragraph will "fill"
that paragraph, and the cursor will move to the beginning of the
next paragraph.  It is very handy (this works Pico also).
