Subject: PINE 4.21 filter question

From: Denny Watkins <[email-masked]>

We are currently running PINE 4.21 on an IBM RS6000, running
AIX 4.3.3 unix.

I setup some filters to filter the incoming mail to 
particular folders.  My question is "Is there a way
that PINE can show which folders have new unread mail?"

Thanks,

It all depends on your settings. If you filter your incoming mail to
folders which are in the collection mail/[] (the one which contains your
sent-mail folder usually) then you can do something that resembles
that. Put the cursor in any folder in that collection and press the
following keys: ; P N  (there is a menu in the bottom for more or
different options)

  This will select all the folders that have "new" mail, including
sent-mail, which is not that exciting new mail after all.

  If you, like me, setup an incoming-folders collection, whose folders
are not in the above mail/[] collection then you have two choices:

  - Press the TAB key while in the INBOX, this will sequentially check for
new mail in each folder and if it finds new mail it will ask you to open
it or open it depending on some setting in your .pinerc file. You can
press TAB in any incoming-folder but it won't check the folders *before*
the one you have opened (it will go back to INBOX),unless you apply a
patch that I wrote which makes TAB go in circles in this collection.

  - The other option is to have the process of pressing TAB automated,
which you can do if you apply a patch that I wrote, called "Check for New
Mail in Incoming Folders".

  All the patches mentioned above can be found by following the link in
the signature of this e-mail.

  As a last resource there are a number of programs that check for new
mail in specific folders, but this is done outside Pine. I do not have
more information about it, other than there existence.

  I hope this helps.

i believe this topic doesn't belong in the pine-info mailing list so the
answer has been posted to the comp.mail.pine newsgroup.

I can't take credit for this method of response, I stole it from John
Haverty.

Probably you are right, but there is not a moderator in this list, so we
better answer in this forum and not make duplicates of the threads.

Probably you are refering to the question about setting a "Reply-To:"
header. That question was asked in both forums.
