Subject: Pine 4.02 now available

This note is to announce the availability of the Pine Message System
version 4.02.  This is intended as a maintenance release and provides only
a small set of important fixes to the previous versions.

OK, it looks like we tried to compress one too many changes into the
version 4.01 update.  With this release, the most heinous problems in the
Pine 4 releases have been addressed.  If you're using Pine 4, we strongly
recommend that you upgrade to this release.

Information on specific changes in this release can be found in the
built-in release notes ("R" off the Main Menu), and via:

        http://www.cac.washington.edu/pine
and:
        ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/docs

As with any Pine release, it is important that you carefully test and
determine for yourself that it performs suitably in your environment
before placing it into production use.

Source for the latest Pine release is available in: 

        ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/pine.tar.Z
and
        ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/pine.tar.gz

and precompiled binaries for the various systems we have direct access to
are available in:

        ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/unix-bin
and
        ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/unix-bin-compressed

Unfortunately, nothing's changed in the last 24 hours and we're still not
prepared to release a corresponding version of PC-Pine, but rest assured
that we are still working on it.

Sincerely,

The Pine Development Team

Greetings,

Given the recent spate of Pine releases I hesitate to bring this up, but
there are two rather serious bugs in Pine 4.02:

(1) Crashes during a 'select' command

    I wanted to move all of my pine-info email into a folder now that
    I've got a procmail for it set up.  After the following keystrokes:

      ; t t pine-info<cr>

      (that's Select Text To pine-info)

    Pine exits immediately.  This behavior is also apparent in
    Pine 4.01.

(2) Broken MH folder handling

    I have my postponed-message folder set to "#mh/drafts".  This
    has worked fine in the pass.  However, since the release of
    Pine 4.0, attempts to compose a message yield the following
    error:

       [Can't open Postponed mailbox: #mh/drafts]

    However, the postpone command works just fine (and the mail is
    saved into the folder as expected).

I'm using Pine on an SGI O2 running Irix 6.3 (recently patched).

Please let me know what I can do to help -- these bugs are more than a
minor inconvenience.

Thanks,

-- Lars
