Hi, I am e-mailing you to tell you about a problem I encounter using pine.
In almost every e-mail that I receive, several sentences are repeated.
I'll read a sentence and then right below it, the same sentence or words
are written.  I also encounter several spelling errors. 
Could you tell me why this is happening and if there is anything I can do
about it?  Thanks
Sincerely
	Cris Burkett

Turn off "local echo" in your comm program. You are sending keystrokes directly
to your own terminal emulation, as well as seeing them from the remote
computer. You only want to see them from the remote side.

>I also encounter several spelling errors.

That you will have to discuss with your correspondents.

Thank you for your help, but where is my comm program.  How do I turn off
"local echo"?  I can't seem to find it.  Thanks
Cristian

Hello everyone,

imho some easily recognizable public presence
might not be amiss in this world,
for Pine either.

The other day I read an e-mail client survey.
Pine was not among them at all.
This was attributed to the "X-Mailer:"field
that had exclusively been evaluated.
[no further comment...]
Pine headers, on the other hand
only use "Message-Id:" as a means of client identification.

So, please allow me to suggest 
	"X-Mailer:" to be used by default 
in future versions as well.

Kind regards,
hal :-)

It sounds like a good idea, however, the makers of Pegasus mail recently
REMOVED their X-Mailer header from future releases. It seems that spammers
were using it too frequently, *violating the user agreement,* and getting
the program banned by overzealous spam blockers. So the X-Mailer header
hurt them, and they removed it.
So there's two sides to every story...

>in future versions as well.

Your communications program is on your local machine. It's what you use to
interact with your modem.

my question is how many spammers could handle pine...

Considering that one of my better tools against them is Winnuke..and they
never seem to relalize it

(if your computer dropped it's connection and hung every five minutes
wouldn't you think something was wrong :)  )

:)
