Subject: Problems using Pine together with fetchmail

I have a quite huge problem using fetchmail 4.0.1 together with sendmail or
Pine3.96

I`d like to use fetchmail to fetch mails from a POP-Domain and forward them
with sendmail or Pine3.96 to different Unix-mail-accounts.

Fetchmail I think does everything right, but when I use sendmail as "mda"
fetchmail terminates with signal 13 after fetching the mails and handling them 
to sendmail.

Using it with Pine is also quite strange : fetchmail handles the mails over to
pine, but every time a mail arrives at pine, the pine mail-editor opens with the
received mail. It looks somehow like the following :

PINE 3.96   COMPOSE MESSAGE                        Folder: (CLOSED)  0 Msgs   

To      : 
Cc      :

Pine wants me to enter the To-address !!!

Why, it already stands a bit more down in the received mail !
Can`t pine take it from there ? If so, how do I have to configure this ???

I hope somebody could give me some hints for these problems !

Pine is a MUA (Mail User Agent). Sendmail is an MTA (Mail Transport
Agent). You'll want to use sendmail with fetchmail, I would think. Best of
luck with getting everything together. If you run into any more problems,
check with the makers of fetchmail, or consult a sendmail reference. :)
