James,

Your question is a "sendmail" mail question, not pine.  However, the answer
is...

In your .forward file you need to have 2 lines similar to this:

[email-masked]
\originaluser

The first line tells sendmail to forward the email to the remote account.
The second line tells sendmail to leave a copy on the original server.

BTW, this the .forward is not a "standard" but is implemented in sendmail
and most of its equivalents.  However, there is an option for the admins to
disable it so your mileage may vary.

Ed
