Subject: Automatically sent pine-messages

Hello,

is it possible to use pine only in command-line mode.
What I mean is that pine doesn't ask me to type Ctrl-X to sent the mail.
When typing something like: 
                   pine [email-masked] -attach file.x
I want the massage to be sent away without any questions (for 
example to use it in scripts to sent some results).
Must I give another command-line option or can I set something in the .pinerc
so it doesn't ask any other questions ??

Regards,
Henk Vosmeijer

You really want to look at either /bin/mail, (or /bin/mailx) or sendmail
to do this.

I have the same issue and have had several suggestions, none of which were
satisfactory. Basically the problem was with the attachments. I likewise
want to script pine to include a text file and an attachment that is just
any old file and let pine decide how to handle the mime. Sendmail and
others on UNIX all split the attached file or encode it differently, or
cause other problems. That's why we like pine in the first place.

Unfortunately in order to solve this problem for an immediate need, I
resorted to doing it in Visual Basic and VBA and using Outlook as the tool
(talk about cumbersome....).

Any other solutions?

Hi everybody,

I wonder if anybody manages to define and use an addressbook on an IMAP
server. I read various instructions on this and tried it a number of times
bur the most successfull attempot resulted in a
"readonly" addressbook. Previous call to the list brought me yet anotehr
manual which did not resolve the problem.

Any help?

Have you tried Nancy's directions at
< http://www.ii.com/internet/messaging/pine/pc/#abookIMAP >?  If so, give
us some more detail on where things went wrong, and we should be able to
help straighten it out.

I could add a IMAP accesible addressbook following Nancy's instructions,
except that there was one point where I had to change them. Wherever it
says that you have to make it a hidden file, don't do that. I defined the
addressbook to be

Server Name : my.imap.server/user=login_name
Folder Name : name_of_the_addressbook
NickName    : nick

This creates a file called "name_of_the_addressbook" in the server which I
can use as an addressbook. You do not need to have your addressbook as a
subfolder of any collection of messages, which was the original motivation
for making it a hidden file. I could then enter any entry there. The final
thing that you get is a file which looks like a tipical folder in pine,
but it has an additional message which says it is a Pine addressbook.

I hope this helps you get through your problem, if not let us know.

I'm using pine on UNIX, but yes, I followed those as closely as possible
(someone else had said they were valid for UNIX also)..

It just ends up being a read-only addressbook, so I can't add items to it--
obviously useless.

Hi everybody:
I have one question:
When I marked to delete one mail from my inbox, and expunge it from
inbox, can I just move it to a trash box, not delete it really? If I
can, how can I do for it?

Thanks

I don't think you can make it do so automatically, but you can
enable-aggregate-operations in the Setup, Config and then use:

(;)select, (S)tatus, (D)eleted, then (A)pply, (S)ave.

Or you can press S to save each one instead of deleting it.

Pine v3.95

The question is... I have my home e-mail utility (Outlook express) grabbing
my email from my server and I specified that I want the mail to be left on
the server... this works, however all my mail gets shunted into the MAIL
directory... when at work and I use Outlook express there it won't retreive
the mail, cause it isn't located with the new mail any longer...

So... is there a way for me to get my mail from home, leave it on the server
and yet not have it moved... Pine's auto-move-read option is blank...?

Thanks

Why do you want to add a THIRD step?

marking it deleted and explunging are already two steps necessary to delete
a message.

Have some more:

If you're really wacky, try using pine with a pinerc whose initial
keystrokes send the message (/me wonders if that would really work) -
or use expect. Mbwhahaahaaa...

> It just ends up being a read-only addressbook, so I can't add items to it--

When I first tried using an IMAP-accessible address book, I also
had "read-only" problems. The problem for me was that I had
created a *global* address book rather than a *personal* address
book. Is it possible that that is what's causing the "read-only"
problems you guys are having? The extreme frustration I had
setting this up was actually what motivated me to write my
PC-Pine web page! I've just updated my PC-Pine web page so it
now:

 * explicitly says don't create a global address book

 * does not suggest using a hidden file (because of the problem
   Eduardo mentioned)

I also just started experimenting with a cascading style sheet on
this page (and on my top Pine and Procmail Quick Start pages) so
I'd appreciate any feedback on the style (which you'll see if
you're using a browser that supports CSS).

Let us know if you figure out a solution to the IMAP-accessible
address book problem you're having. Here's a tip: Try going
through the steps on my revised page and use a completely new
name for the address book (i.e., a name that you have never used
for a folder or address book before).

Good luck,
Nancy

Well, does this affect how I *use* pine?

Will it still LOOK in all addressbooks?
Will the "A" key show me _this_ addressbook (the one on the server)?

I only use addressbooks for spam site addresses...

Yes it will, I have three different addressbooks and all of them are
searched when I enter a nick in the To: (and I assume other) fields.

The only thing "Global" means is that it's an address book designed for
multiple users to access.  As such, you're not allowed to make changes
from within Pine.

Hi....

Is there any 'good way' to synchronize the global address file from SCO Unix
to SCO Unix?
