Subject: Precommand on Pine

Hello to all,

I'd like to know if Pine has something like a precommand to execute a
program, before it checks the new email.

I have experiment this feature with KMail (KDE) with fetchmail. There is
possible to execute first fetchmail before Pine checks my local email?

I know that I can run fetchmail in daemon mode, but I have a dialup
connection and I don't have a fulltime connection.

Thanks very much to all subscribers and developers. This is the best and
complete email program that i ever used.

Bye,

Why not just create a simple shell script that invokes fetchmail before
invoking Pine?

It won't play nicely. I had a problem with pine 4.30, I made an alias like
this:

alias getmail="fetchmail && pine"
a .fetchmailrc was in my home dir.

The problem is that pine forgot to sort some messages, those would not
show up and sent to their folders until I did a Ctrl+L (I have pine
filtering all my mail).
