Subject: loading messages into memory

Dear Pine-info,

I have several folders with +1000 messages in them.
When I open the folder, it takes several minutes and about 60megs of
memory to load. Is there anyway for pine to ONLY load the index screen 
(message header info) into memory? Once the message is selected for
opening, only that message would be read into memory.

PS Partitioning the folders into several smaller folders is not a feasible
   option for the nature of my system.

best regards,

Not that I know of.

Could you elaborate on that?
