Subject: Pine 4.53 is now available

This note is to announce the availability of the Pine Message System
version 4.53. This release does not introduce any new functionality.
Instead, it addresses bugs found in earlier versions.

The reason for this quick release is a single bug which is present
in 4.50, 4.51, and 4.52:

  If a Filter Rule which does not Delete or Move a message (its Action is
  "Just Set Message Status") is followed by another Rule which does a Move
  or Delete, that second rule will be applied (if there is a match) even
  if the first rule matched.

The situation where this is most likely to come up is if you have a Filter
Rule which is a whitelist (a list of friendly From addresses) at the head
of your rules followed by other Filter Rules which Delete or Move spam.
The whitelisted mail will be incorrectly deleted or moved if it also
matches the spam criteria.

Independent of this, there was also a bug discovered in PC-Pine's MAPI
DLL. If you have not installed the pmapi32 package separately, you can
ignore the MAPI bug.

Specific information about changes can always be found in the built-in
release notes ("R" off the Main Menu), or via any of:

        http://www.washington.edu/pine/

        ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/docs/

              (MD5: 8bc92fa7c03d48c2c6d042ad58221685)

We are no longer distributing binaries which don't have encryption
capabilities built in. Pre-built binaries are available for a small number
of UNIX operating environments for citizens of the U.S. or Canada via:

        http://www.washington.edu/pine/getpine/

The PC-Pine distribution is also available at the above url, or at:

        ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/pcpine/pm453w32.zip
              (MD5: c7d2e3db33150177ac20f7f1fac4f651)

As with all Pine releases, it is important that you carefully test and
determine for yourself that it performs suitably in your environment
before placing Pine into production use. Thanks.

(I am using pcpine)

In my pinerc. I have set both
            enable-alternate-editor-cmd            and
            editor=C:\$user\Editors\TSE_2.5\e.exe  (which exists!)

Nevertheless, when I call the alternate editor, I get the
"Which alternate Editor?" window. This was not so in previous
releases.

Same thing happens a fortiori if I also set
            enable-alternate-editor-implicitly    .

Try putting braces around user

     editor=C:\${user}\Editors\TSE_2.5\e.exe

Pine doesn't treat \ as a special character that ends the $var word so it
is trying to find

     ${user\Editors\TSE_2.5\e.exe}

instead of

     ${user}\Editors\TSE_2.5\e.exe
