Subject: design changes 3.96 -> 4.10

Hello,

One really annoying change between Pine 3.96 and 4.10:

	every time one enters the Folder List, Pine 4.10 immediately
	tries to connect the news server.  

	Previously, in 3.96, it would only initiate a connection to the
	news server if/when the cursor entered the News Collection
	section of the Folder List.

The problem with that is, on a slow connection, it takes second or
even minutes before the connection is made.  When someone only wanted
access to their saved-messages (or whichever else), this gets really
annoying to wait for Pine to connect to news.

Is there any compile option to revert to the old behavior?

I second the nomination to change this behavior.  There have actually been
several occasions where I had to telnet into a different session and kill
pine because I couldn't get it to stop trying to access the news server.
And this happened when I was connecting to the news server by accident
(it's easy to hit ^N accidentally when you are navigating mail
collections).

I dont get the "BCC:" field in the compose form.
Looking into settings doesnt seem to help.

I would greatly appreciate if I can get this info:

	Can I modify my pine settings to get bcc field.
	Or does it depend on the mail server.

I am using a linux box with my home area mounted via nfs.

Thanks!

Have you tried typing ^R (for "rich header") when you're in the header
area?
