Subject: Pine 4.10 now available

From: Michael Seibel <[email-masked]>

This note is to announce the availability of the Pine Message System
version 4.10.  Pine 4.10 is an evolutionary release that introduces a
number of new features, provides options to support old features, and
fixes a number of bugs found in previous releases.

More specific information can be found in the built-in release notes ("R"
off the Main Menu), and via:

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

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

The corresponding PC-Pine distribution is available in:

        ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/pcpine/pm410w32.zip

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

Enjoy!

Sincerely,

The Pine Development Team

Ahhhh....

It seems to work okay here (hpux 10.20, no changes in make other than
commenting out -g debug and uncommenting -O), but....

When printing (unix pine 4.10), one now gets a status screen
post-printing indicating the spool job and status.  Is there a way to
quell this?  I couldn't find anything in the tech-notes or .pinerc.

Thank you for the new reply-leadin support.  I have made a small
enhancement to this feature.

I added support for a new token, _TIMEZONE_, which I find to be a useful
addition to the new reply-leadin feature.

For example, my reply-leadin setting is:

  reply-leadin=On _DAYDATE_ _TIME24_ _TIMEZONE_, _FROM_ wrote:

which generates a reply-leadin like at the top of this message:

[this is my first contribution to the pine sources - is there a more
appropriate mailing list for such contributions?]

I'm still wondering if anyone knows how to disable the ctrl-K command from
putting text that's cut onto the copy/paste clipboard. I used to use
Unix-based Pine and it didn't do that and PC Pine does.

Thanks,
Steven

All of the UNIX pine implementations that I have used (pine 3.90 - 4.05)
paste the clipboard when you use Control-K.  As far as I can tell, that is
not a configurable option, so I have no ided how the version you used to use
would have accomplished this.
