Subject: Pine 4.21: quell new-monthly-folders ?

Hi altogether, using Pine the 1st time 
each month Pine offers a number of 
new monthly-folders.
Positive answers are entered in .pinerc somewhere, 
which thus must be writable.
We would like to simply quell this offer, 
and not write .pinerc.
However, we cannot find any suitable option.
Any hints or help ?

TIA, kind regards, hbk ;-)

    Every month, Pine asks me if I want to rename my old sent-mail and delete
    the old ones. How do I stop/change this behavior?

        For Pine versions 4.30 and above, set the appropriate action in
        the pruning-rule option under (M)ain (S)etup (C)onfig.

        For earlier versions, it is only possible to make it stop renaming
        and deleting your sent-mail. To do so, edit your .pinerc file,
        and change the value of the last-time-prune-questioned option
        to some ridiculously high value. The value for the option is of
        the form years_since_1900.month. So to set it to December 2050,
        you would make the value as follows:

          last-time-prune-questioned=150.12
