Subject: Pinerc supplied is corrupt

I'm a wicked so-called "end-user" infiltrating this list as I think I've
found a bug or so. I have quite thoroughly checked this, although I could
always be wrong.

Two issues -- both relating to the functioning of the pinerc file in
PC-PINE.

1: When you go to setup-config within PC-PINE there is no entry for
"folder-collections" and a few other items that should be there are
missing as well. These items are all included in pinerc but do not appear
to map over to PC-PINE's config. utility.

2: The file extension setting does not appear to be working. The default
should be .mtx (as is indicated in the setup-config) but the actual
setting appears to be nothing (ie. no extension). Folders are therefore
all listed with .mtx after their names and to save incoming mail to a
folder it is necessary to include .mtx in the save to folder name.

I have tried setting up PC-PINE 4.04 on two computers -- an HP and an IBM
-- to make sure it wasn't the computer playing up and the same things
happened in both cases. I only tried PC-PINE 4.05 on one computer, but the
same things happened. I have therefore gone back to PC-PINE 3.96 for the
time being.

Please check and see if you get the same problems... Any ideas on
solutions?

You are right.  I have submitted the complaint that there is no
folder-collection entry in the setup/config screen.  doesn't mean you can'
edit that information.  this is how you do it.  find your pinerc file,
which is mostly likely in the same directory as pine.exe.  open the file
in some text editor, for example notepad.  then look for
folder-collections.  its there.  and that is where you have to edit that
information.

people have had the file extension problem too.  it seems to be not
working with any versions of the 4.0X.

I would hope the pine-development team would be aware of these problems.
but they haven't been fixed yet.

With Pine 4.xx, the "folder collections" section of Setup/Config screen
moved to its own setup screen: Setup/CollectionList

why doesn't it let you delete the local folder, c:\mail in that screen?

Hi :

Just a simple question to a newcomer: I want to sent a list to a number
of people without listing each name on the screen? How can the list be
sent without showing all the names in pine?

Thanks for the tips
Bernd

Use enriched headers.  Move your PINE cursor to the header and
push Ctrl+R.  To get help on LCC, move your cursor over LCC and push
Ctrl+G.  I hope this helps. --Sean
