Hi:

If I have selected several messages with ";" and then want to print them
out, they all run together.

How can I get each message to begin at the top of a page in such as
aggregate operation?

TIA for any help.

Josh

If you want to print several messages in one go (using the Select and
Apply aggregate commands) with formfeeds between you first need to set a
couple of things in the Setup Configuration screen:

1.  Request a formfeed between the messages by setting the variable
    called:

	print-formfeed-between-message

2.  Now mutter under your breath about an obscure bug in Pine 3.95 and
    also turn on this variable:

	print-includes-from-line

In Pine 3.95 you need to set *both* of these variables, even though the
first is _apparently_ all you need to set.  This is due to a small buglet
in the source code.

This problem was reported a while back and will apparently be fixed in
Pine 4.0, when setting the first variable will suffice.  It *may* be fixed
in 3.96 (I don't know as I'm not running it here yet; if anyone knows one
way or the other perhaps they could say?) 

Cheers,

    Go into your configuration and read the online help for the
print-formfeed-between-messages option and see if this is what 
you're looking for.  (I've never used it myself.)
