Hello Pine users!
	Kindly take a minute to read my problem.
	Whenever i cancel a letter pine writes a dead-letter in my home
dir..which i have to remove using the rm command.Although it doesn't cause
any problems it is very troublesome. Is there any way i can stop pine from
writing the dead-letter?

Thanking you,
Prateek.

	In a previous post I wrote something along like....

	Some years ago the US government would broadcast an "informercial" 
on TV and radio.  The theme of these was "RIF".  The meaning of "RIF"?
Reading is Fundamental.  These broadcast were to extol the virtues of
reading for sake of knowledge.  In this case, as in many cases, reading is
fundamental to understanding how/why things work as they do. 

	So, in the spirit of "RIF", why not go to setup/configure and find
the option:

	   [X]  quell-dead-letter-on-cancel 

	Then, "read" the "?" help......

	While you are there....why not spend a few minutes, as you say,
reading!  It may save you having to ask questions and waiting for
some person to feel sorry for you and answer your questions.

	Regards,

		Ed

Well, here's the standard reply to many questions. <GRIN> From the main
menu, choose (s)etup and (c)onfig. One of the options there does exactly
what you're after.
