Hi,

Is there a way to tell Pine not to beep when a new mail arrives but to use
a different sound ( from an audio file etc.)  ?

Thank.

Yossi

That's not pine, that's biff. man biff and xemacs -nw ~/.profile
should do the trick.

Cheers,
Robin

Could be biff... Could be Pine. If you're in Pine when new mail arrives
[or up to 2.5 mins after that, in most installations ;) ], Pine will beep.
This is a bell character sent to your terminal. If you can change the
sound your terminal makes when a bell character is seen, you can change
this "beep". You can't change the sound for *just* Pine. You'll be
changing it for any time your terminal sees a bell character.

Good luck,

Not without getting the Pine source code, and change the behaviour, no, I
don't think so.

Unfortunately.
