Subject: 2 Fcc folders

I'd like to be able to specify two Fcc folders in PC Pine for
Windows - one would be on my PC and the other would be on the
Net.  Are there any plans to allow this or tricks for how to
do it now?

Thanks,
Nancy

Sorry, we don't have any way to have multiple Fcc's right now.  You
should be able to work out using Cc: and a procmail rule though...

It is not the direct answer to original question; rather, I just use the
chance to present some idea for future Pine version.

Apart from the original problem (save file in several folders) there were
some postings about different options for different Folders/Collections,
e.g. sort order.

It seems, that it could be solved by using sort of macro language in
configuration. Such language shold provide:

   - access to info on folders (type, host for remote folders, if folder
     is incoming or not - any more?)
   - access to message info (value of headers)
   - access to address book
   - control structures (conditional, loops or goto, probably special
     ones like "for every address in Cc field")
   - some string operators (compare, match, probably special like
     "if this address is present in header")
   - variables (string in any case; associated arrays would be very
     helpful).

It would provide general way of customizing Pine configuration. Such
macros can also be seamlessly integrated in current configuration.

Of course not every option is to support such macro definition - I can
think of all Fcc/Sort/Save options, custom headers (yes, could be very
useful for putting 'Reply-To: user+list@...' header for mailing to lists)
and probably some others.

I understand, that the changes are extensive, so I don't hope to see it in
Pine 4.0 - but I would like to know if the idea is worthwhile.

greetings and 
     Happy New Year
