Subject: Help!! Suspended mesgs in Pine are Killing ME!!

Hi, 

I have a problem.  When I am composing a mail and for whateer reason
have to attach a file (^T), and then decide to cancel the operation (^C)
I have always been returned to the mail I was composing with my 
command cancelled.

But, I have a new account, that when I do the same thing, essentially 
*suspends* the message, and *quits* to the unix prompt.  And I lose everything
(bwaaa haaaa!!).  Now if I want to exit from unix, I am told that I have 
suspended messages.

I would like to know 
(a) what config settings I need to have so that I dont get quit out of pine 
everytime I have to conacel some command

(b) What unix command do I use to recover/unsuspend suspended messages?

(c) what pine command do I need to use to recover/unsuspend suspended messages.

Matt 

p.s. I dont have a suspended folder in my pine, nor is anything saved in 
my posponed or saved folder.

p.p.s excuse the typos.

Sounds to me like it's just a matter of Pine (or unix?) interpretting your
keystrokes into the "suspend" command, (^Z).

>everytime I have to conacel some command

You could de-select 'enable-suspend' from the Pine configuration screen.

>(b) What unix command do I use to recover/unsuspend suspended messages?

'fg' will put the last suspended job back into the foreground.

>my posponed or saved folder.

Well if it was, in fact Pine which was "suspending" your message, it would
be writing it to your postponed folder. I'm quite sure that it's a case of
Unix suspending the job.

>p.p.s excuse the typos.

Happen's to the best of us...  ;-)
