Hello,

I want to report small bugs/inconsistencies in PINE 4.10. As I spent 
20 minutes to find any bug-report address and could not find any, so I
finally ends on this list without being sure that it is appropriate, here
is bug one:

bug #1: there is no clear way to report a simple "bug", or at least I
could not find it from the documentation.

bug #2: when adding new viewers or filters in the Setup/Config section,
these programs must be given with their full path 'for security reasons'.
fine with me. However, if the user forget to do so, the line is just
ignored SILENTLY. I think that it should not be so quiet, i.e. the
configuration should at least warn the user if the entry is to be ignored.

bug #3: as for html viewers, I found no way to chose an alternate viewer
from the predefined list. One can just edit the viewer. I think that it
would be more consistent in pine to offer to switch between its configured
viewers, as it is done with mail filters or even roles.

It's actually [email-masked] (which is changeable in the
global configuration file.  They also make mention of a "Report Bug"
command.  However, I've yet to find that "command" (though I've not
looked terribly hard).

	I have not found it in 4.05, but in 3.96, I didn't have a problem.
The address [email-masked] as far as I can see is not in the
online documentation for 4.05.  Maybe I'm missing something...

Yep. The 4.10 online doc does specify a bug-report command, but I haven't
found it. I haven't found the pine-bugs@... address in the documentation.

	I know it is in there somewhere, as the core dump (which I seem to
be getting far too many of lately), has that information in it.  I think I
also saw something that indicated that the ``report bug'' feature is also
in there somewhere.  This is in V4.05....
