This may sound odd, but in .pinerc (or, better, in pine.conf) are you
using the "smtp-server=" setting or the "sendmail-path=" setting?  When
we used the latter, we got the same behavior described above, but when
we switched to the former (for entirely separate reasons), the LCC:
feature clicked in place and has worked just fine ever since.

In the interest of brevity:

Mike - We run sendmail 8.6.13 (egads!) so you may be right.  Since this
is not a mission critical function, I'll just wait until I get a later
version of sendmail in the next DG/UX Rev.  Yes, I am the sysadmin.

Cliff - Thanks for the suggestion, but Unix Pine users don't need to define 
smtp-server in their .pinerc/pine.conf files.  That would be PC-Pine.

Thanks again,
Joe

Joe, I should have been more concise, sorry.  I was referring to the
behavior of unix Pine, and I meant that if your sysadmin hadn't defined
smtp-server you might want to override it in your .pinerc, or if you
*are* the sysadmin, you might want to set it in pine.conf.
