Good morning,

1. PC Pine 4.33.

2. Seems that if you use CURSORPOS in a literal signature then when
composing mail the signature is prepended two newlines, but the cursorpos
is not, so you always get the cursor two lines above where you wanted it
to be.

These two lines are a bit of a neacance anyway. I wanted to include a
header and a footer to each message and ideally it would be done by a sig
with

"Hi,
_CURSORPOS_
Yours, whoever."

but it won't work.

3. Also, I rememer there once was a feature to allow you to use , and .
instead of < and > on account of being to lazy to hld the shift key, but I
couldn't find it browsing through setup/config. anyone?

Thanks,

Hmm I couldn't reproduce this in  unix pine. The position of the cursor
was always where it was meant to be.

Every signature is prepended with two empty lines, there's nothing you can
do about it. If your real purpose is this one, then use a role and use a
template file instead. A Template file is not prepended by two empty
lines.

It's very reproducible in here.

Hmm, silly me. You're right.

Right again, but I could not find any hint of this in the help file for
this command. Rather it talks about the left & right arrows. A
documentation bug or a case of user illiteracy?

Good morning,

Ha, this works!

I save my template file remotely (of course), and it contains

		Good morning,
		_TO_("","","_CURSORPOS_")

And I still use the (litearl) signature file so that it's at the end of
the message. The second line makes the cursor appear after the greeting if
the mail already has someone in the "To" field (reply or forward or
assumingly even if I start it with 'pine john'), but keeps it on the "To"
field line if its not.

Downside is that taking the template file from remote takes too much time
(and I still haven't tried it offline.
