Subject: Problems with Pine 3.96 and IMAP

We have since moved mail off of our main computer , and now pine users must
use pine with Imap, I have setup  a conf file so that all pine users
default to the Imap server.

The problem is there are some email messages that case pine to crash with
the following:

[Not a string: ("TEXT" "html" ("CHARSET" "iso-8859-1") NIL NIL
"QUOTED-PRINTABL]

Problem detected: "Received abort signal".
Pine Exiting.
Abort (core dumped)

And they can not read it and I have no idea how to fix this..  I am
assumung from the above that the message is in HTML format

Can anyone help me shed some light on this before our users lynch me to the
nearest tree :)

Check your metamail setup, especially /etc/mailcap or whichever
mailcap you're using.

By the way, "xset -led 3" (I think that's the number) will turn off the
Caps Lock LED on your keyboard - this may be necessary to keep it from
burning out after extended periods of heavy use. (Roy Stogner)

How do I map the ^_ (Ctrl Shift -) key to toggle between default
and alternate editors in Pine 3.96?

I am using an apparently vt-220 terminal to type files
offline, which I then upload via a telephone hookup to my ISP 
in pine with the upload option. I then edit them with vim 
in pine before sending them. 

The terminal does not transmit codes for ctrl-shift combinations. I tried
it in vim in insert mode, first typing ^V and then ^_ but nothing appeared
on the screen. 

I need to be able to toggle between the default editor and alternate
editor, because I want to use ^R, then ^Y to upload the files and this 
means I have to access the default editor (PICO). In vim, these keys 
are used for other functions.

Can't advise you; I don't know what comm program you use.

If you are offline, why do you emulate any terminal at all? Why don't you use
DOS or Windows applications available to you?

>it in vim in insert mode, first typing ^V and then ^_ but nothing appeared

You sure you are emulating vt-220? You have this set in your .profile or .login
as well in your home directory on the remote computer?

>are used for other functions.

Fortunately, there's a work-around when your terminal emulation eats control
key combinations. [esc][esc]<key> is equivalent to [control]<key>.

Your life would probably be easier if you performed the upload outside of pine
with ZMODEM, and then read the file into the composer from your home directory.
