I know this question has been asked before.  But I didn't need to answer
until now.  So..can you use pine in the command line, non-interactively, 
to send attachments?  If so how?

How about plain 'mail' or 'mh'. Either of those two programs might be 
better suited for this task.

I don't know... I've another question relative to this one.

pine -attachlist is use to send with attachements...
but the mime type is omitted  ! (if you attach some jpg files, they are from
"Application" type.

Not without Eduardo's patch...

Hello, All, :)

Now that the source is closed, I present a plea for all of us poor
PC-Pine users who live behind firewalls and with constant net
congestion:

Could PC-Pine *please* support background IMAP operations, such as
checking mail?  And perhaps, in some rhapsodic future, provide
background SMTP operations as well??

Win32 contains all of the architecture to make this work (we're not in
DOS anymore, Toto), but PC-Pine still seems to be struggling to shrug
off its single-tasking legacy.  I find it frustrating to be poking
around in the index only to have the interface freeze for many tens of
seconds while the IMAP server is queried.  Ditto for having the
interface freeze while using the built in PICO editor.  Background
operations would open up a whole plethora of user experience
enhancements, IMHO, that would make remote use so much more enjoyable.

Not to lose sight of the forest for the trees, thank you for providing
an already extremely useful tool with which I interact for hours each
day - thank you for IMAP and Pine!  Any glimmer, though, that the future
will be brighter would be greatly appreciated (well, a release date
wouldn't hurt, either). :)

I think this is just as important in Unix pine.  Unix is (and always has
been, AFAIK) a multi-tasking OS, but Pine doesn't make much use of that.
I would love to see all IMAP operations operate in the background,
especially automatic checks of Incoming mail folders.  Is this on the
official to-do-someday list?

Thanks,

And LDAP operations.  My LDAP server is 18 hops away.

By the way, I posted a question last week about background sending of
messages.  I have this enabled, but apparently I have to type ^R before each
message is sent to make use of the background facility.  I'm on a Unix
machine -- why wouldn't I always want Pine to fork, exec sendmail and then
carry on?  Curious to an answer on this one!  Thanks,

Ben
