Umm.. sorry to dissapoint you, but I think this is simply not possible in Pine
3.95! In fact, if I am not mistaken, I dont think this 'feature', as it were,
it available in any email MUA out there.

Anyone?

I heard that Pine does not allow this so as to prevent flooding a mail
server with (possibly) hundreds or thousands of messages for a single
user, or for a whole mailing list.  This would obviously create an
administrative nightmare for the recipient(s), and possibly system
administrators, if done maliciously.  On the other hand, some mail servers
will simply reject a piece of mail that is over a certain quota or size
limit, or contains a rather large attachment.  So, forwarding a contiguous
block of mail may not have desirable results either.

I think most mail clients do not allow this so as to protect everyone's
common interests on the 'Net.

Any other thoughts??

I think you might get this done by using the apply command and then simply
using the B for bounce command.  I've done this, it works great.
