Subject: roles and mailto

I'm working from a linux box with a remote mail server.  I've set up a
role which works fine UNLESS I try to set Pine up as my alternate mailer
under Netscape (so Pine comes up when I click mailto links).  Pine comes
up but not the role.

Similarly, if I call Pine at the command line, the command "pine -I c"
brings up the role, BUT if I throw in the address "pine <address>" (or
various permutations), then no role.

I MUST be overlooking something simple and I apologize in advance.

A few suggestions:

- Try "pine -I #"

- Try "pine -feature-list=confirm-role-even-for-default <address>

Do any of these do something close to what you want?

Thanks, Eduardo for your suggestions.  After playing around I report the
following (rather sheepishly): Linux users with remote mail servers and
Pine 4.33 should customize the "From" header with the desired entry in
"customized headers" (in "Setup, Config").  *Roles are unnecessary* (and
don't have the scope that customized headers do).

Yip.

Filtering it with PINE or procmail will get it out of your hair
at least from the point of having to look at it and get
frustrated, however it bandaids the real problems.  Since it
can't spread through PINE, the problem is wasted bandwidth.  
This needs to be blocked at SMTP level to stop that real problem,
as well as at the M$ LookOut level also.

Filter the body of the message out for the text of the virus.  
You'll likely need several filters, one for English, etc...
