Subject: * Some features addressed towards PINE 4.0 *

There are two things I think should be changed in the new Pine:

 * MIME-compliant PGP support built-in, for users' convenience.
   And don't talk about display filters...
   For example, handling application/pgp-signature type.
  
 * The consistent handling of Berkeley 'From ' line (not "From:").
   It should be shown with the "H" option (full headers),
   it should be forwarded to someone else when "full headers" option
   is active. This is very useful for detecting spam,
   writing procmail rules etc.
   The only option affecting "From " is "print-includes-from-line".

 * There should be more consistent handling of multiple mailboxes
   available for power-users. I often write e-mails from one account
   addressed as "hostmaster@domain", "webmaster@domain", etc.
   and I don't like changing From: every time. Perhaps the default
   address should be provided by the user.
   This is a bit M$-Outlook feature, but this can (sometimes)
   be justified.

Nope.

Good one.

Will be there. But where are the power users?

BTW, who taught you to count to two?

I certainly agree. It's annoying to only be able to view the boundary with a
text editor, and not within pine. The Status and X-Status are hidden as well.

mutt seems a good choice for people that need pgp. My own mailer is
pretty good at it too... I good a database with people/lists that get
signed automatically and other funky stuff...
