Subject: reopen on access error?

Ok, I'm being lazy..

But sometimes my machine goes to sleep and I lose my pine connection
(sometimes I say yes to the break connection to server prompt, or it was
asleep for a very long time, etc..)

I know I can hit M, L, return to get back to my INBOX.. but is
there a patch for pine to make it even easier than that?  It already has
my name/password info, since I don't have to reenter that on these
situations.

But it's still a <slight> pain having to go back to the main menu and
back in the inbox rather than having it automagically re-connect..

Ok, it's not "hard", but there's a delay in there somewhere, I forget
where.. maybe when it's getting the list of folders.   (Pine has some
other times when it pauses showing a message at the bottom of the screen..
GRRRR)

I _hate_ pauses, that's largely why I use pine instead of GUI mail programs
the vast majority of the time.

Yabbut that's out of Pine's hands; you wouldn't want it using a possibly-stale
cached copy of your INBOX list after a server disconnect, wouldya?

Or for the *really* lazy, you can just enter "," "."
which is equivalent to  "<" ">" but avoids having to hold the shift
key down.

Or if you're viewing a msg, instead of the index it would be: ",,."
