Subject: reverse search?

is there a way to do a reverse search?

I realized now that the easiest way to do it currently is
$RW
then $R when I'm done.

But I'm a lazy person and that's too many characters!! (somewhat sarcastic)

I guess I wish there were a way to declare it was a reverse search from the
Search prompt.  I realize pine is intended to be easy to use, so you can't
have different case characters (e.g. no 'w' for revers search, 'W' for
forward search)..

So some way to tell it to be a reverse search in the string... or even
an extra prompt (uggh but that gets to almost as many keys as my workaround
above) when you hit ^G just like you get at the view-url question.

Search: string?
would search for string backwards...?

Hi !

I've been asked for a way to avoid double-confirmation when posting
news with Pine. But I found no option for that. 

Does anyone know a solution ?

The only possible solution today is to apply a patch. You can find a patch
for it at

http://www.peak.org/%7Eluomat/patches/pine/4.10/diffs/send.c.DIFF

The following is an explanation given by the author about it

---
PINE puts in a Sender: or X-Sender: line which has been in several
circumstances incorrect for my usage (ie: it has supplied an address which
would not work for the purpose that the Sender: line is supposed to have).

PINE also asks you "Posted message may go to thousands of readers, really
post?" every single time you post to Usenet.  That is annoying.  So I
removed that as well.

Other than that, this is not a configurable option. I think I
``understood'' somehow that this question would be configurable in the
future. But I may be wrong. Therefore your only solution is a patch at
this time.

  I hope this helps,
