Subject: Example for option

I have just been poking around looking at some options in the
configuration I hadn't examined closely before. For  example, the option
"Display-Filters" looks interesting.  And I read about it.  What what does
it do?

Can someone give me an example of a command I could put in there to do
something interesting?

Thank you.

A very simple syntax example would be:

"what to match" /what/to do
IE it will search the body of every message you display in your pine
session for "what to match" and if it matches, will feed the body of the
message (via STDIN) to the command /what/to do

For a more detailed description, check the documentation included with
pine (go to the main menu, then choose "s" for Setup, then "c" for
Config.. then page down until you are on the display-filters option, then
press ^g for help)

hmmm... Is that an example?

Looks decidedly like English to me.  Can Pine understand English?

Yes, I did mention I read about it.

Oh, sorry.. I often get English and syntax confused sometimes.. Here is a
good example then, it does something VERY interesting. You may, of
course, have to change the pathname to your 'yes' program.. type
"which yes" at a command prompt for the path:

"ndrew" /usr/bin/yes

OH.. so you already read the help and still don't get it?  I'm sorry.

MY - What friendly people one may meet on the Internet!

Goodness, I shall have to remember to get you a very nice present for
Christmas.

I guess you rather hear all the messages on this list about small animals,
music bands, storybooks, loans, and get rich quick stuff - anything BUT
PINE.
