Subject: Distribution List

Greetings,

If I have a text file in my Unix account with a list of e-mail addresses
in it, is there any way I can import this list into a distribution list
for use with the LCC field in a Pine header? I'm using Unix Pine 3.95.

Or, can I create the distribution list by renaming the list to the
hidden file ".addressbook"? file in my home directory. Or, can I change
the default "addressbook" entry in the configuration menu?

Thanks, any help will be appreciated.

Jim

As long as the format is as follows, and each field is separated by a tab
character, it'll work:

Nickname	Full Name	address

Jim,
  Here's a method that should work, though it takes a couple more steps
than you had in mind.

  Mail the contents of the file to yourself.
  Read the message.
  T Take
  L ListMode
  A SetAll
  T Take

then you can set up a distribution list with those addresses.
