Subject: Newsgroup Warning?

Is there a way to disable the "this is going out to thousands
	of people" warning before posting to a newsgroup?  After the
	hundredth post, it becomes very annoying.

	I am using Unix PINE version 3.91.

Hyuck, Hyuck.... Very true. I always wondered about this myself but didnt
get any replies back from wise folks out there. Guess the only way is
to hack the source code....

I'm really biting my tongue on this one....For all the non-hackers out
there, do the following:

edit your .pinerc file located in your home directory.
find the text "feature-list" and add the following line to it:

	news-post-without-validation

save the file and restart pine.

while you're at it, add the following line to quit without that
annoying "are you sure you really want to quit" message:

	quit-without-confirm
