Hello !!!

Somebody said that if you don't want pine to delete your sent-mail folder
then you must put this in your .pinerc file:

# Set by Pine; controls beginning-of-month sent-mail pruning.
last-time-prune-questioned=110.1

But now pine won't move my saved-messages to new folder every month.
Is there a fix, so that pine will move my saved-messages to a new folder
every new month and still not delete my sent-mail folder???
TNX!

								Bye.

this possible?  IF so please please please tell me how.  Thanks

I used a system that let you inquire when someone read the subject, read
the message, and deleted the message (you could tell how big a twit they
think you are :-). Pine docs deprecate doing that, saying it's not always
practical and would increase required bandwidth, which are true. Of
course, that doesn't mean the post office doesn't do it anyway with
double-registered mail.

In other words, maybe next millenium.

Well, depends on the system and the system security policy of your
partner(s). UNIX provides a finger command which sometimes also
displays information about (un)read mails. But I doubt that this
option is given. It's a major security leak.

I should've mentioned that I had that feature on a closed (nearly) 
mainframe. Over the internet, you'd need public-key crypto and key
authenticity infrastructure that will probably take another two to five
years to develop.

As I said, not this millenium.
