Subject: Feature request

Hey folks, just a quick feature request when someone has the time and
inclination (I doubt I will anytime soon, which is why it's not a patch being
posted instead :> )

I use Pine to connect to an IMAP server, and from home I tend to use my OS X
"Mail" program as well; we also have a webmail system setup for users here
too.  Of the three, Pine is the only one that does not offer a "Move deleted
messages to trash" type of feature, while the other two give the option as
well as a way to specify the name of the trash folder.

Would this be something easy to implement?  I searched the archives and have
not seen anyone else ask for it, so it may not be a highly requested feature,
but for someone like me who has been using Pine for many years it would be
easier to know that after marking a bunch of messages, "adx" would have the
same effect as "asTrash<CR>" and be fewer keystrokes.

Thanks!

I talk about some possible workarounds for this on my Power Pine
page in the section "Saving Your Trash" which is here:

 <http://www.ii.com/internet/messaging/pine/pc/#saveTrash>

Since you use multiple IMAP clients, you could set
expunge-only-manually and then let the other IMAP clients move
them to the Trash mailbox.

I have a related wish in my Pine Wish List, namely

* Support for RFC-2359, IMAP4 UIDPLUS extension, which would
  allow users to expunge some -- but not all -- messages that
  are marked for deletion in a mailbox.

This and other of my Pine wishes are here:
