Subject: Compiling Pine with non-default INBOX

I am having trouble finding where to define the default INBOX that Pine uses. 
Now, Pine reads from /usr/spool/mail/$USER as the default inbox. I would 
prefer to have mail read from $HOME/.mail.incoming

I was considering as an alternative to recompiling placing the new inbox in 
the pine.conf file. It seems, though, that although Pine recognizes the $USER 
variable, it does not recognize the $HOME variable.

If anyone has any insight into this problem, I'd like to hear it.

Thanks,
         Bob

What *exactly* did you try that led to this conclusion?

| I would prefer to have mail read from $HOME/.mail.incoming

Then, in the pine.conf, define the INBOX as ~/.mail.incoming
