Subject: Where are { and } gone? (pine 4.5)

HI,

I'm using Gentoo Linux and upgraded my pine installation
with the gentoo portage system. The current stable version
is Pine 4.50L0 (what does the 0L0 stand for?).
But in this version, the threading functionality
seems to be reduced... I'm only able to see the
expanded thread view. Collapsing with { and later
expanding with } does not work anymore. I'm just getting

 [Command "{" not defined for this screen. Use ? for help]

Why did this function disappear in the new version?

cu, Daniel

The "L0" part indicates that there was a modification from the part of the
person that built that version of Pine, and in particular it means that if
you find a problem (a bug report) you should contact the person that built
that version of Pine before you report it here (because the bug may have
been introduced by that person).

You were using a patched version of Pine (as you are doing now). I have a
patch that restores most of the commands that are missing in pine4.5X in
thread mode, among them:

  * You can expand and collapse all threads with the "{" and "}" commands,
  * You can sort threads by arrival.
  * No need to collapse a thread to delete it (^D and ^U work as before).

The latest patch is for version 4.53 and is the one I would recommend you
to use.
