Subject: Bug: detokenizing backslashes

Thanks for pine 4.10!

detoken_src() in pine/reply.c makes multiple passes until nothing changes.
It thus gives incorrect results with backslashes: e.g. \\_ is transformed
into \_ and then finally into _. While _token_ resolving can be repeated,
backslash removing can't. I guess it should be done only once at the end,
or I can't use my signature without hacking pine :-)

Should I try to make a patch?

Yes, the backslash stuff was botched. We'll fix it for pine 4.20.
I think we'll make it so you don't have to escape anything, instead of
making you have to put extra backslashes in. Thanks.
