Subject: rewriting FCC after postponement

I have Pine set up to Fcc to the default folder.  It works fine, and I am
allowed to change the Fcc if I please.  But, when I postpone a message and
then start working on it again, it changes the Fcc to that of the current
default folder.  Pine does not retain the Fcc that I entered previously,
even if I changed it by hand.  Looks more like a bug than a feature.  :-)

	Oh, I wouldn't call it a bug, I'd call it an incomplete
implementation, or something like that.  There is a folder that is created
for your postponed messages (multiple are certianly allowed in 4.05, I
can't remember about 3.96).  I guess it just doesn't save the Fcc: header?
You can look at that manually if you wish, to see exactly what is going
on...

I followed your suggestion and looked at it manually (i.e., I looked at
the postponed-messages folder) and I found that the Fcc *is* stored with
the postponed message.  Pine saves Fcc and then changes it when the
message is retrieved.  That is a bug, right?

Nice try!

One more thing.  I think Pine does not usually change the Fcc, but it
changes it when I have not written in the To field before postponing. When
I go back to the message and enter an address in the To field, Pine
automatically rewrites the Fcc (if I have a different folder open).

	Or, at the very least, a strange implementation.  It isn't really
something that affects the overall opperation, it is something that is
annoying.  A bug I think is something which causes you not to be able to
do something that the program was apparently designed for.  This is
getting pretty close, as it looks like somewhere it was designed to keep
this information, and probably use it...

Mike,
  Thanks for spotting this bug. It will be fixed in the next version of
pine.
