hi,
I have a problem with my pine e-mail.  When I am reading my mail, the
control keys at the bottom of the page start mixing with my text.  The
more I press the down arrow key the more the control lists duplicate and
run into my mail.  
thank you for your help

it sounds like a terminal problem to me

you might try typing (at the prompt, before you go into pine)

$TERM=vt100
$export TERM
$pine

where $ is the prompt

this is all case sensitive

She could be having a terminal emulation problem on her end. She needs to check
that first.

true.

though my experience is that most telnet clients default to reasonable
values, but they don't always seem to communicate them well.

but then, mostly I've used crappy MS products, or linux, which normally
behaves.
