Hello !!!

I use newsfetch to access my news. It works perfectly with Pine. But when
i want to replay to some news, then pine tries to lookup all news on
server. Can be this somehow dissabled and be still able sending news???

								Bye.

Go to the main menu screen of Pine, select "S" (setup) "C" (Configure) and
tab down to "nntp server" 
It should be set to <No Value Set> which will cause Pine to ignore the
existence of a news server.
BTW, before doing that, you might also check out Pine's newsgroup feature
set. It's nicely integrated with the mail client, and is usually a fast
and easy newsreader to use. That however, is just IMHO (In My Humble
Opinion) others may have religous fervor concerning the newsreader you
should use. At the end of the day, it's what suits *you* best that decides
the issue. You can't beat the simplicity of Pine's newsreader though.
Good Luck!

That's pretty cool until you've learnt to crop your quotes. Maybe
you'd like to rm /usr/bin/sendmail, too?

Hello,

I don't know if this is the right place to ask it, but any help will be
appreciated: how can I activate the "secure mode" of Pico?. I've been
looking the source code, and I found some #define's about this, but I
don't know what to do with them...

Thanks.
Rodolfo.

simply don't use newsfetch. pine can grab news on its own. use the D key
to "delete" things you read that you don't want to read again (it marks it
as read, and does not delete it from the server. it could be clearer about
that for newbies, but :)  ) 

just keep it set up as it is, just don't use newsfetch
simple as that :)
