Hi,
I have a question in regards to attached files.  I have not been able to
send or receive attached files without problems.  At work I use Eudora
Lignt, and I have no problems sending or receiving attached files.  I am
wondering why do these problems occur.  Everyone that I know (who uses
pine)has the same problem.  Thanks for your time....>Matthew Smith

Hi,

could you please tell us exactly what your problems with attached
files and pine are that you share with so much a user and that you
don't experience with Eudora? 

tia, norbert.

Yer such a trouble maker. I am content to wallow in ignorance of problems of
people who don't bother to explain.

Hi Adam,

you are absolutely right, but since I've read the message ... why
doesn't pine (or any other MUA) provide the possibility to extract
vital information (or the lack of it :-) from a message without having 
to read it first - damn ... hello mr moderator (I s'pose that's the
cue for Colin :-)

Cheers, Norbert.

That's a feature promised in 4.0. However, I think the composer should extract
vital information from the sender's brain and put it into the message before
sending, or at least check it for content and pull his chair out from under him
before he can hit ^x.

Uhhhh (staggering back from the Vomitorium and weakly resuming sitting
position in front of terminal) I just love a pound of chili tipped into a
bag of nachos and eaten by tipping the bag at an angle of 45*, then
inhaling what gravity delivers.  
	4.0 should contain a newbie monitor, which when invoked,(when the
user asks a non-Pine question via this list) causes the user to receive a
brain freezing death ray from the terminal screen. Also, on the subject of
newbies, can't we market a lotion/potion via the U/Wash website that
implants the FAQ into the new user's mind?

polietly excused myself so I could see if it was anything important.  It
was!!!  It was funny as hell.  However, my wife wasn't as amused as I was.

My question is....is there going to be anything in the 4.0 release that
will correct this kind of behavior???

Well <laugh> I'll respectfully pass the torch to a list member<chuckle>
who has some insight <muffled hoot> on what features 4.0 <giggle> may
incorporate.
Your post may go down in history, I thought I was pretty damn addicted to
email, but I guess I'm <snort, guffaw> really not that addicted after all!
