Err...

1. This is a list for the email program pine.
2. "login incorrect" means you're having the same spelling problems as 
   in your mail while logging in.
3. If you can access the files - what's wrong with that?

Finally: 
use the words "bug report" with caution

talk to your local help desk

get yourself a copy of the netiquette and make sure to read and
understand it before posting

HTH,
Robin

Pretty easy: try saying

emacs -f gnus or xemacs -f gnus

and make sure to pay a visit to my website to grab the dotfiles >;->
In other words: Pine cannot do that. You can invoke another editor,
though, and do it manually. Vi seems the best choice for that. Ick.

Later,
