I need to be able to send Majordomo listserver an Approve: password in
the header of the message I send it.  Anyone know how this can be done
in Pine?

thanks,

John+

Hi:

That should be fairly easy:  From the PINE main menu, select (S)etup, then
(C)onfig, then look for the entry "customized-headers" - you can specify
the additional headers here (in _exactly_ the form they need to be in, in
the message to be sent).  In recent versions, help will be available for
this item.

Then, when you address a message that needs to use the custom headers, do
a Ctrl-R while you are in the headers on the compose-message screen (for
Rich Headers) - the additional items will be visible, and you can enter
the data you wish.  If you always need the same entry in these headers,
you could avoid this step by including the whole string AS the custom
header in the config screen entry - i.e. Password: 556671, BUT be aware
that that information will be added to every message you send, unless you
delete it manually...

Hope that helps.
