Subject: Problems with Fcc: inbox

Hi All,

As explained in the FAQ (7.8.2), we have mail moved to users home
directory by using procmail as our local mail deliver agent configured
to deliver to ~/.mail.  We modified the inbox-path in pine.conf to
point to ~/.mail and normal reading of mail seems to work just fine.

The problem comes in when a user uses "inbox" as an Fcc: address. For
example, if .addressbook contains:

bob	bob sloane	[email-masked]	inbox

pine 3.95q puts the copy in /var/spool/mail/$USER. Using pine 4.10,
the first time you use the Fcc: inbox pine asks if you want to create
the folder, and if you say yes, creates a folder called "inbox". The
second time you use Fcc: it asks again if you want to create the
folder, and then complains that it can't create it.  All seems to work
as expected if the default mail spool file has not been moved.

How do I configure pine to look in the correct location for Fcc: inbox
when the default inbox is ~/.mail?
