Subject: special characters in username

Hi everybody,

  I'm a pc-pine 4.61 user. I have a problem with special characters in the 
username. My ISP provided me with a username that contains "$" so that 
when sending an email pine truncates it by the "$" char.

I've been looking around in the database but no success so far...

Does someone know if there is a escape sequence to prevent pine from 
interpreting $ as a special char?.

I am able to send emails but I need to re-enter the full username each 
time, as pine automatically cuts out the half of it!.

thanks in advance for any reply!,

Pablo S.

Try using $$ -- that's what you need to use for keywords that 
contain a $. This is explained in Pine's built-in Help on 
Keywords.

Let us know if that helps!
