Subject: New mail problem

This thing is starting to drive me nuts. I'm on a lot of mailing lists and
accordingly, I receive a lot of mail. So I set up filters in pine to get
all the mail to its proper place (folder). My problem is that I find it
_very_ hard to go from folder to folder (their number is >20) in search of
the new emails. I have written to the pine devel team about adding some
visual feedback when a folder has new messgaes in it. They told me that
this is one of their TODO items, in the mean time, is there any way, to
work around that jumping from folder to folder. Maybe, some way to stall
the filters, and read all the new messages (while in INBOX), and after
that apply them and send the mail to the folders?

i go to the [M]ain menu and then to [J]ournal to see the lates operations
(like filtering mail to folders).

that's the best you can do for now.

Yeah, I've discovered that a little bit after sending this mail. I'll
forward to the list another solution that was kindly suggested.

Sorry, somebody know which are the options with the keyboard for copy and
paste text?

Thanks in advance by the help.

ctrl-k cuts text, and ctrl-u uncuts it.  The operations occur in place.
 
In the Unix version of Pine, to copy text, select it and press
ctrl-insert. To paste, move the cursor to where you want the text to be
and press shift-insert.

As others have said, ctrl-k & ctrl-u do it, however that doesn't
tell you how to mark text.  ctrl-6 does that.

^k<arrow keys>^u is cut and paste. What do you mean, "in place"?

To select multilpe complete lines, use ^k many times. To select parts
of a line or lines, use the mark command, usually ^^. On my terminal,
^6 works. To stop marking, use the same keystroke.

>ctrl-insert. To paste, move the cursor to where you want the text to be

In PC-Pine, you mean?

Well, it's not quite so simple as that :-)  There are about 40 different
ways to copy text around, and in addition you can bind many commands to
any key you want.

The simplest way is to have prefix on.  In that case, entering "c" (for
a single line), or "cc" at on the first & last lines of a block will
mark those lines.  Then entering "f" or "p" on a line will copy the
marked lines following or previous to the line.  There's also an "m"
prefix command that moves instead of copying, and a " that copies lines
directly following the marked ones.  You can also apply a numeric
modifier to copy multiple instances...

Are you confused yet?

There are also ways to mark lines, boxes, or streams of text, and to
move, copy, or delete them.  These can be bound to whatever key you like
- I don't happen to remember the defaults, but if you look for a string
line "mark box" in the manual, you should find them.

I believe there's also a way to do the same thing with the mouse, though
I've never tried it.

Hope this helps.  THE does have a bit of a learning curve, but it's more
than worth it.

OOPS!  Ignore that message.  Thought I was working on the editor mailing
list.  Sorry about that.

PS: Though if you want it to work that way, just set the alternate
editor to THE...

And just how do you "select" this text?  If I wanted to copy the above
quoted material, give me a step-by-step explanation.  BTW, I have tried
this and I'm pretty sure it's something specific to the emulator you're
using and that it's _not_ a Pine key sequence.

> using and that it's _not_ a Pine key sequence.

1. Position your cursor at the beginning of what you want to select.

2. Press the "select" key. Pine (actually Pico) expects a control-caret (hex
1E). Your emulator must be able to send this key. Mine does it on
control-shift-6.

3. Move the cursor to the end of your selection. As you move, the selected
data should be highlighted.

4. Press control-K to delete the highlighted text. That is, control-K will
delete highlighted text if a highlight exists; otherwise it will delete a
line.

Um ... as you so correctly pointed out, Bob, that deletes the highlighted
text but I thought we were talking about _copying_ text, not simply moving
it to a new location.  I suppose one could:

1.  Mark and cut the material.

2.  Move to where it's supposed to be _copied_ and use Control-U to paste
it.

3.  Return to the original spot and press Control-U a second time ...
provided that the first Control-U didn't empty the buffer.  I haven't
tested this out.

Paste it again, immediately, without moving the cursor. Saves you
having to come back later.

>2.  Move to where it's supposed to be _copied_ and use Control-U to paste

...again.

Right.

>provided that the first Control-U didn't empty the buffer.  I haven't

^U doesn't empty the buffer.
