Thanks for > the suggestion! Thanks, David - I find Pico VERY useful as a stand-alone editor for installation scripts etc. One other feature I'd like to see is a write-to-file operation (reverse of ^R). It would be useful in Pine for folks to make/modify/maintain their signature files (I just modified mine today and had to go out of Pine to do so - if I'd been able to mark the block and write it out I wouldn't have had to).

Sorry if its been covered before. My e-mail address is edwards@teaching.physics.ox.ac.uk, but there are a quite a few places from which people have tried sending me mail, but have had it bounce due to `unknown domain', etc. I could live with that problem, because I have discovered that if I use my address as edwards%teaching.physics@ox.ac.uk, then it works from everywhere. I used to use Elm as my mailer, and this was fine because it got my return address, etc. correct, but I have now switched to Pine 3.89, and am experiencing problems. Pine uses the first form of my address. I have tried setting the user-domain=%teaching.physics@ox.ac.uk, but Pine puts a `@' inbetween the username and the domain when I post something locally (eg I input `user' and Pine completes it to `user@%teaching.physics@ox.ac.uk'. Has anyone got any idea how I could solve this? I don't know what it is putting in any of the Reply-To: headers or anything. Would it help if I mailed someone so that they could look to see what it is doing? Perhaps the next version of pine could have a variable that we can set which specifies the complete e-mail address of the user, so that it can be sent up manually if neccessary. Anyway, I would be very grateful if someone could help. Charuuba!

Have I missed something (obvious) ? Since you're just interested in last access and not in any access telemetry, have you considered using the file access time? Another possibility is to modify the server_login() routine in imap/c- client/os_???.c to write a timestamp of your choosing; that way, you'll be able to discriminate inactive users specifically.

I suspect that teaching.physics.ox.ac.uk is not registered in the NRS as a mail domain, but is registered in the DNS. This will have the effect that anyone that mails to you directly using smtp will get the mail through; any mail that goes through "official gateways" will not. The Reply-To: feature that is promised for later versions will "cure" the problem; alternatively, registering the teaching. etc in the NRS for mail (though oxford might have other objections to this). On the assumption that physics.ox is properly registered (and that you have a suitable mailbox there) you could get PINE to specify your mail address as edwards@physics.ox.ac.uk (and indeed you could leave your INBOX there as well).

Have I missed something (obvious) ? Just check the access time on their mailbox file (for example, "ls -lu /var/spool/mail/user" if your mailboxes are located in /var/spool/mail).

(There are 2 sections of code which have to be def'd out). The sendmail.cf mods are needed for all mailers unless the machine is registered outside the .ox.ac.uk domain. The pine mods are to prevent pine generating a valid from: line which passes straight through sendmail rules. I have done this for SGI's and HP's here in materials and can offer limited advice. Many people have switched back to using elm and PC/Mac Eudora until Pine comes up with a Reply-To: option.

A simple copier program would be pretty trivial using c-client, but none of us have gotten around to writing it. I did talk to someone a few weeks ago who was going to write such a beast, but have not heard anything in a while. The Pine Technical Notes include a description of the Tenex format. The easiest way to add Tenex support to your app would be to call the appropriate c-client routines. You might also want to wait for the Unix MTX driver. This is almost identical to Tenex format, but is binary compatible with the MTX format used in PC-Pine. Thanks for the request! --DLM |\ | |\/| David L.

This sounds do-able to me, even if aliases can be multi-word. This message is a good example of how Pine has moved far away from it's principle original design goal--KISS or, "Keep it simple, stupid." The kinds of things Gregory would like to see are options in Mush, VM (almost certainly) and probably several other mailers designed for power users. I started using Pine because it was a solid mailer which did 70 percent of what I wanted to do and did much of it well. Yes, only 70 percent. I always wanted a score or so "enhancements." However I knew that the sum total of all the different enhancements which Pine users the world over wanted numbered a few hundred. I was happy to stick with a simple mailer because it could be used adequately not only by me, but by all users of many different levels of understanding and ability. For the same reason our Computing Service here was happy to offer Pine as our standard UNIX mailer. We wanted to have something that was simple to use, required no user configuration and which (one of early Pine's proud boasts) didn't need paper documentation because it was so small. Use of IMAP and MIME were additional advantages which could simplify and enhance our mail setup here but they were secondary. Now creeping featurism threatens to swallow Pine whole. The present configuration file is a nightmare in some areas, and it continually grows. One may see some of the problems by the number of exchanges on this list which go: Q. Why doesn't pine do "this?" A (several times.) Just put "option77=blah" in your .pinerc file. Pine is now complicated. Don't misunderstand me. There are some wonderful parts of Pine. Pico is pretty good and so are the supplied IMAP daemon and the c-client. Indeed it is because of these, Pine's solid base, that there is such a demand for Pine to do even more. I don't like this idea (although all my wished-for extra features still aren't implemented :-) Equally to the point I know that there are a lot of people who are unhappy at Pine's current development. I'm afraid that I don't have a definitive solution, but I will offer one suggestion: Pine should be frozen at it's current state of development, or preferably a couple of states back, where the config file was simpler and there were no stubs for "coming" features visible to the user. This version of Pine can either retain the name, or become, say, "Pinelet." Perhaps someone out there can think of a suitable diminutive name. The version we have now can then move on until it suits all us power users out here. Only bug fixes would be back-grafted onto Pinelet. What do you think? -- Andrew M.

Knowing that a lot of the coming features have been asked for by our users, especially features to make asynch use much more efficient (eg phone use) I cannot support this.

How about a menu-driven configuration built into pine with documentation to explain what the various options mean. To add spice have special options in the global config file to stop users modifying their own configs. More work I know but it would make pine configuration much simpler for the users. Jack N.

Firstly pardon the severe edits - I'd done a more thorough job on this reply and just got to the end, reformatted the last paragraph, and ... got an error message about failing to allocate 144 bytes or something. Pine could have snipped 144 chars from my message, I wouldn't have cared so much - instead it just hung there 'till I gave the PC the 3-finger salute and then I lost the lot :-( Anyway, I quite agree with you about the config file - it is a nightmare! - but I'd like to separate it from the other sort of enhancement request you were actually replying to which was about "when a user does can Pine be made to treat it as a correct thing to do instead of spitting it out as an error". The example was separating mail aliases by commas or spaces - other examples are showing end-of-file messages when the end has been displayed instead of when the user tries to page down, and the action of various PC cursor keys. These sorts of enhancements do not require extra menu options or setting in the config file, and can make Pine more instinctively natural to use - user friendly - which I believe is the pine philosophy and A Good Thing!=20 Anyway the *%=9C"@#! config file - I suggest: (1) most straightforward options should be settable by the (promised)=20 Setup/Options screen, so the casual user should never have to edit their=20 .pinerc or (PC) PINERC file (2) Pine should come 'out of the box' with a simple config file that can=20 be set by the Options function, and this file can either be expanded by=20 the user adding options manually, or by the user setting an=20 'intermediate' or 'advanced' user setting - in some way that the casual=20 user cannot do accidentally. Maybe by running pine from the command line=20 with some flag like: =09PINE user_options=3Dintermediate [or advanced] whereupon it would read the current config file and write out a new one=20 with extra bells and whistles. (3) documentation! At present there is nothing between the 2-page Readme file and the 180K tech notes (in some wierd MAN-page type of format) which has to be FTPed over separateley. I suggest pine should come with some intermediate level documentation which should explain what you can configure, and give examples in more detail than in the config file (indeed why have any in the config file - particularly in the PC version where RAM is precious - if you can have decent documentation with it?) The point is if you've got documentation you don't have to read it - and the casual user won't - but if you haven't got it you can't!=20 (?) actually I think there could be a case for having two config files - particularly in PC-PINE - one for the user's name, login id etc (which the user could muck about with) and another for system-type settings (like inbox-path=3D{imaphost.domain}inbox etc which are easier to screw up and the casual user unlikely to need to deal with).

I'm very conscious that Pine is Washington's property - they made it - they pay for it and so they're entitled to do what they like with it - the rest of us are just free-loading. However, I have to say that I agree wholeheartedly with Andrew on this. (Boring over here aren't we?) We chose Pine because it did most of the things that most people wanted - painlessly. User support gets harder as more arcane features/options are added. Instead of having 20 advisors who know all about Pine 3.0x, we're unlikely to have more than 5 who'll get to grips with all of Pine 3.8x. I do think that you should be conservative about adding features unless they are geared to making life easier for Pine's original constituency. By definition this list is for the people who setup/fix Pine, not its users - contributions are unlikely to be representative of the user base. On the same reasoning it's the ever-growing Pine strand that should have a new name, not the "original". The original joke (PIne's Not Elm) is going to backfire when people start to say that Pine's Not Pine Anymore.

This is easy to do with mail/mush: I add "set record= /home/labsha/mail/record" to my .mailrc. However, I have been having some problems doing the same thing with pine 3.85. I have modified my .pinerc so that "default-fcc=/home/labsha/mail/record", and I have come across some problems when I try to send mail from pine that puzzle me. When I try to send mail I get the following message: Folder "/home/labsha/mail/record" doesn't exist. Create? (y/n) [y]: I get this whether or not ~/mail/record actually exists. If I say No: [Find of folder outside context: /home/labsha/mail/record] [Fcc of message rejected] Pine doesn't send the message, and dumps me back in the compose screen. If I say Yes, and ~/mail/record exists, I get: [Can't create folder /home/labsha/mail/record: folder already exists] Again, pine doesn't send the message, and dumps me back in the compose screen. If I say Yes and ~/mail/ record doesn't exist, I then get: [Find of folder outside context: /home/labsha/mail/record] [Message sent, and copied to "/home/labsha/mail/record".] So, here are my problems: 1) Why can't pine seem to recognize ~/mail/record, even when it exists? a) Is it a problem with incompatible mail formats or something? I wouldn't think so, cuz I can read the same mail file in mail, mush, and pine with no problem, but...? b) What does "out of context" mean within "Find of folder outside context"? I get that when I try to get pine to recognize ~/mail/record without creating a new file. This seems to be the real problem. Any clues? 2) Why does rejecting the Fcc or inability to create ~/mail/record mean that pine cannot send the mail? With the recent/ongoing thread about sent-mail as well as several recent system modifications, it occurred to me that this would be a perfect time to ask Pine-Info and Answer-L. A couple of misc. related things: 1) I don't remember this happening before, so could it be related to the OS or the global pine setup (ie, related to whatever system changes have just happened)? 2) I would prefer that all my outgoing mail be in a single folder (~/mail/record, if possible), but I suppose renaming it sent-mail should theoretically avoid all my current problems. Does anyone know a better way to approach my situation? If someone could explain what pine is doing and why it is doing so, I would appreciate it. Also, if you know something better to do, please tell me. thanx, shy From owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Thu Feb 3 20:33:00 1994 Return-Path: Received: from mx1.cac.washington.edu by shivams.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA14017; Thu, 3 Feb 94 20:33:00 -0800 Received: by mx1.cac.washington.edu (5.65/UW-NDC Revision: 2.29 ) id AA07627; Thu, 3 Feb 94 20:17:16 -0800 Errors-To: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Sender: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Received: from mailhost2.cac.washington.edu by mx1.cac.washington.edu (5.65/UW-NDC Revision: 2.29 ) id AA07621; Thu, 3 Feb 94 20:17:15 -0800 Received: from shiva2.cac.washington.edu by mailhost2.cac.washington.edu (5.65/UW-NDC Revision: 2.29 ) id AA07510; Thu, 3 Feb 94 20:17:10 -0800 Date: Thu, 3 Feb 1994 20:17:10 -0800 (PST) From: David L Miller Subject: Re: Saving sent mail To: Shyela Aberman Cc: pine-info@cac.washington.edu, answer-l@emuvm1 In-Reply-To: Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Try setting "default-fcc=record".

And it's still true that Pine *requires* no user configuration. Erase your .pinerc (and maybe even your pine.conf) and you can verify this for yourself. In fact, you'll see a Pine that looks remarkably similar to the very earliest versions, except that it has more consistency across screens. Even PC-Pine users never need edit their PINERC if they want a minimalist Pine (or, as suggested, "pinelet"). That's because the first time they run it, PC-Pine will prompt them for the configuration essentials (name, imap server, smtp server). One of the reasons we have not made the "Pine Configuration" screen our highest priority is that it has always been our view that the config options were there primarily for those who were not intimidated by them. > Now creeping featurism threatens to swallow Pine whole. > Pine is now complicated. Note that some of you want the options to be *less* accessible, if not go away altoghether, while others actually want them to be *more* accessible (easier to configure.) We won't talk about those of you who want lots *more* options, but you know who you are! :) Remember, these creeping features that have swallowed Pine are indeed *options*; those who do not explicitly turn them on, do not suffer any added complexity. (Exception: if the system admin turns them on in the pine.conf, well... that's a local policy decision. Also, the new status indicators in the Index, + and A, are not configurable.) > How about a menu-driven configuration built into pine with documentation > to explain what the various options mean. Planned. But I suppose we need to make its presence configurable, in order to keep both the "no features" and "easier features" camps happy :) > In order to satisfy both "normal" users and power users I would prefer > to have a "User Level" command with options "beginner" and "advanced" Old timers will recall that we used to do just that: there was a normal/basic mode and an "old-growth"/advanced mode. However, we found that many options are a question of personal taste, and did not relate to experience level, so this model broke down. There is still a novice mode, of course: it's what you get if you don't turn on any options! > User support gets harder as more arcane features/options are added. > Instead of having 20 advisors who know all about Pine 3.0x, we're unlikely > to have more than 5 who'll get to grips with all of Pine 3.8x. Could we get those 5 to help us with pine-bugs support? :) Mike's point is valid, of course, but on the other hand each site needs to define it's own base configuration and level of support. Suppose that there was a "pinelet"... a base version that had no options. A user asks "How can I do xxx in Pinelet?" The support staff says "Sorry, it can't be done in Pinelet." whereas the corresponding answer for regular Pine might be: "Sorry, that feature is not available in the Pine configuration supported at this site". (Or they could say "RTFM"...) But if folks really want a "pinelet", you can have it right now! Just have "pinelet" be an alias for "pine -p /usr/local/dummy.pinerc" and presto. no personal pinerc and no user-settable options! Just good-old, simple Pine :) (PC users wanting a "pinelet" must simply use some self-discipline and *pretend* they don't have a PINERC...) > ... and which (one of early Pine's proud boasts) didn't need > paper documentation because it was so small. Well, with Pine option configuration disabled as above, that's probably still true, too! (At least as true as it ever was... documentation is a funny thing. Some people will use online but not hard-copy, some are just the opposite, and the vast majority refuse to use either! :) -teg From owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Fri Feb 4 01:50:27 1994 Return-Path: Received: from mx2.cac.washington.edu by shivams.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA17163; Fri, 4 Feb 94 01:50:27 -0800 Received: by mx2.cac.washington.edu (5.65/UW-NDC Revision: 2.29 ) id AA06793; Fri, 4 Feb 94 01:27:38 -0800 Errors-To: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Sender: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Received: from bootes.cus.cam.ac.uk by mx2.cac.washington.edu (5.65/UW-NDC Revision: 2.29 ) id AA06787; Fri, 4 Feb 94 01:27:34 -0800 Received: from ursa.cus.cam.ac.uk [131.111.8.6] (TAP id = ph10) by bootes.cus.cam.ac.uk with smtp (Smail-3.1.28.1 #115) id m0pSMp2-000BzUC; Fri, 4 Feb 94 09:27 GMT Date: Fri, 4 Feb 1994 09:27:52 +0000 (GMT) From: Philip Hazel Subject: Re: Suggestions To: "A.

There would be confusion between the two products, and one wouldn't be able to remember which did what. We already have problems with the "novice" vs "old growth" modes in Pine. Scenario: A user phones up with a problem about the message. Adviser asks "What are the full headers?". User can't see all the headers, of course. Adviser says "press h to see the full headers". Users presses h. Nothing happens, because h is a "power user feature". A messy interchange follows. I see no reason why Pine shouldn't have a number of configurable options, provided that the defaults are all suited for the novice, and there is an easy-to-use configuration screen with lots of explanation for each option, (a paragraph rather than a couple of words), so it is simple to make changes. Users will advance as time progresses. Novices become power users in time. It's simpler if they can just start to use additional features of the same, familiar product.

This would allow sites to: 1. Take advantage of new Pine releases (to overcome possible bugs). 2. Control the release of new features to the user community. 3. Block possibly undesireable features ("Update" and enable-suspend). 4. Fix variables such as "user-domain", and possibly "news-server", etc. If this approach was adopted, Pine would need to clearly inform the user when a user configured option has been disabled if the user sets it in their .pinerc file. As an example, I currently have the bounce and zoom commands disabled in pine.conf to avoid user confusion, but will make them available when they are implemented. Is the "pine.conf takes precedence over .pinerc" the perfect solution? Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave King, Admin.

RFC822 was written in 1982. The Atlantic Ocean wasn't discovered until 1991, and the Pacific Ocean a year later. Latin America still hasn't been discovered, I think. Hah,hah, only serious.

Hilborne" Subject: Re: Suggestions To: pine-info@cac.washington.edu In-Reply-To: Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I must say I am impressed by the level of debate which has come about as a result of my previous message. To answer all the messages I have seen so far... 0. I should have started off by thanking the UoW crew for giving us Pine at all. I'd like to make amends by offering a VERY BIG THANKYOU here. 1. I think that a reasonable config/preference screen would remove a lot of the problems with the present config file. 2. The possibility that "Pine-out-of-the-box" should use a simple config file, with a "power-user option" to create and use a more complex one sounds attractive, but would clearly be considerable work. 3. I shall definitely bear in mind the suggestion that "Pinelet" be something like "pine -p ." 4. I accept the argument that Pine and "Pinelet" should not be developed separately. 5. The suggestion that pine.conf override .pinerc also sounds interesting, but there should be a .pinerc option to override the override! Many mature UNIX programs do this sort of thing (UCB Mail, EMACS, nn, ...) but normally it is only a command-line option. This a pain because it makes the user have his own wrapper when he hardly needs one. 6. Documentation. If a reasonable paper manual appears, it should hive off all the advanced options to a _very_ separate section. -- Andrew M.

I dont' like it. Admins I know are very paranoid. As a matter of fact, when I installed filter and started sorting my mail into different subject-related mailboxes, I had to spend an hour explaining to the admin exactly what it was I was doing, and even then she only grudingly agree to allow me to do it because I get so much mail. All it would take is an unapproachable and uninformed admin and users have all advanced options locked out, which turns around and makes pine useless. I'd simply have it so that pine.conf is the default, and then users who know what they are doing modify their .pinerc for their specific needs. Of course, since I'm not an admin, I'm just reporting on what I;d like as a user (and what I fear as a user). ____ Robert A.

Klaus - Just to sensitize people to the problem, on my screen that name appeared=20 as: "Bj", a filled-in square, "n ", a Chinese character meaning a kind of= =20 shell, and "berg". My screen is set up with the Japanese character set. Fortunately, Pine was able to recognize that it may not display the text=20 properly, and warned me of that fact (hey, it's better than refusing to=20 display it at all, which earlier versions did!). However, it's important= =20 to realize that all the world isn't ISO-8859. Pine *will* support non-ASCII characters in headers, but you should=20 always have a reasonable 7-bit form of your name for the benefit of those= =20 who can't display European characters.

There is the global configuration file, the individual configuration file and there are the compilation options. But the individual ought to be able to override the global configuration on most things. One should remember that on most unix systems MUAs are user level programs that don't require privilege. With docile users (or in a rigid corporate environment) you may be able to impose strict rules. But in many places anyone can bring in their own MUA and use it. This means that restrictions on the configuration of MUAs better have good rationales and that the global configuration is primarily to make it convenient for most users to use the program without having to worry about the configuration. /dan Dan Schlitt School of Engineering Computer Systems dan@ee-mail.engr.ccny.cuny.edu City College of New York (212)650-6760 New York, NY 10031 From owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Fri Feb 4 13:38:00 1994 Return-Path: Received: from mx1.cac.washington.edu by shivams.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA01077; Fri, 4 Feb 94 13:38:00 -0800 Received: by mx1.cac.washington.edu (5.65/UW-NDC Revision: 2.29 ) id AA18015; Fri, 4 Feb 94 13:13:03 -0800 Errors-To: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Sender: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Received: from shivafs.cac.washington.edu by mx1.cac.washington.edu (5.65/UW-NDC Revision: 2.29 ) id AA18009; Fri, 4 Feb 94 13:13:02 -0800 Received: from ester.dsv.su.se by shivafs.cac.washington.edu (5.65/UW-NDC Revision: 2.29 ) id AA18109; Fri, 4 Feb 94 13:13:00 -0800 X400-Received: by /PRMD=SUNET/ADMD=_/C=SE/; Relayed; 04 Feb 94 22:12:22+0100 Date: 04 Feb 94 22:12:22+0100 From: Shyela Aberman Message-Id: <564270*@su-kom.dsv.su.se> To: "Pine mailer discussions group (pine-infoEcac.washington.edu)" , Pine Info From owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Fri Feb 4 13:53:07 1994 Return-Path: Received: from mx1.cac.washington.edu by shivams.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA01551; Fri, 4 Feb 94 13:53:07 -0800 Received: by mx1.cac.washington.edu (5.65/UW-NDC Revision: 2.29 ) id AA18320; Fri, 4 Feb 94 13:33:31 -0800 Errors-To: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Sender: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Received: from tomobiki-cho.cac.washington.edu by mx1.cac.washington.edu (5.65/UW-NDC Revision: 2.29 ) id AA18314; Fri, 4 Feb 94 13:33:29 -0800 Received: from Ikkoku-Kan.Panda.COM by Tomobiki-Cho.CAC.Washington.EDU (NX5.67d/UW-NDC Revision: 2.27.MRC ) id AA01548; Fri, 4 Feb 94 13:33:21 -0800 Received: by Ikkoku-Kan.Panda.COM (NX5.67c/UW-NDC/Panda Revision: 2.27.MRC ) id AA10124; Fri, 4 Feb 94 13:33:13 -0800 Date: Fri, 4 Feb 1994 13:33:11 -0800 (PST) From: Mark Crispin Subject: Re: pine with MMDF To: Leonard@top.cis.syr.edu Cc: pine-info@cac.washington.edu In-Reply-To: <9402041953.AA12657@mx2.cac.washington.edu> Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Fri, 4 Feb 1994 Leonard@top.cis.syr.edu wrote: > There's a driver for MMDF in the c-client directory and the docs > mention support for MMDF, but I can't find anything that indicates > how to set this up.

I think that it needs some hacker attention to knock it into shape. We don't use MMDF here, so it's somewhat difficult for us to fix it.

It appears that you are running the old Stanford IMAP2 server which is based on RFC-1064. You need to have an IMAP2bis server, such as the UW IMAP server, in order to save messages on the server from PC Pine. Note that the Stanford IMAP2 server uses the COPY command, and thus can only copy messages from one folder on the server to the other. IMAP2bis servers have the more general APPEND command (which is what PC Pine uses), so the source and destination can be different systems.

Pine had the choice of displaying the 8859-1 in the Japanese character set (and hoping that there would be enough ASCII that I could make some sense of it), or it could refuse to display it at all. I claim that Pine did the right thing by giving me a warning, and then trying to show me something. The point is, not everyone can assume that every terminal in the world has 8859. It is Euro-centric to assume otherwise. Don't forget, there are more people who use East Asian characters than there are Europeans; if it came down to it, they out-number you. This is the underlying fault of the ``8-bit clean is enough'' idea. We all need to be very careful to make sure we have a match in character sets between sender and receiver and not make assumptions. If there is any question about the capabilities of the receiver's terminal, it is best to limit yourself to ASCII.

One change to Pine that we would like is to prevent the user from setting the user-domain and use-only-domain-name variables. It is inappropriate in our environment for users to change these. If they do, they send out messages that can't be replied to by the recipient. To use the terminology introduced above, I have "hacked" the code to give out a message if the user sets either of these variables. I was going ask the Pine development team if they could add a compilation option for this. Or it could instead be done by the third configuration file that others are suggesting. This is the file that overrides the user's settings of some variables. -- Barry Cornelius Durham (091 or +44 91) 374 4717 Information Technology Service, IT Service Office: 374 2892 University of Durham, Durham.

As a data point, inside the US and Canada there are still a great many terminals which do not support 8859. In fact, most *terminals* do not support 8859; it's the small set of lucky people who have X terminals who have 8859 capability by default, plus a few who have the right terminal emulator on their Mac or PC. It is only until very recently that the US was the ``majority'' of the Internet (now, it's merely the ``largest country represented'' on the Internet). Furthermore, you have to consider the looming importance of Asia in the Internet scene. Asia is already more important than Europe in international economy, and there's no reason to believe the steamroller is going to stop at that. All this suggests that it is not safe to assume 8859 as a given except within Europe. 7bit ASCII is the only thing that you can reasonably assume is universal.

Well, I very naively just set ISO-8859-1 in my PINERC and got the magic characters from that Finnish name loud and clear; I then set codepage 850 and keyboard uk, and my whole world worked normally. What's the point? I have a bog standard PC with no requested special language support. I have a French Canadian friend who would take strong issue with you on the underlying point, which he calls linguistic and cultural fasciscm (yea, he is really hot on this point!) basically, it is bad enough that most computer applications assume that people *speak* English, but for heavens sake let them *write* other languages, and especially their names! > > It is only until very recently that the US was the ``majority'' of the > Internet (now, it's merely the ``largest country represented'' on the > Internet).

As I said in my earlier message, the linguistic problem is wider than Europe and not just confined to Asia (Hebrew, Arabic, Turkish, Greek, are European in scope these days); the problem solution to that is "in the wings" and no one will be able to ignore it. > > All this suggests that it is not safe to assume 8859 as a given except within > Europe. 7bit ASCII is the only thing that you can reasonably assume is > universal. All very well, but you will find that you cannot then write some people's names in messages. Sorry to go on a bit (it always helps oneself perhaps more than the readers) but it is an issue on which Europeans (and other people world wide who do not have the English alphabet as their first written language) feel very strongly, and on one which US based computing has historically been very blind to. ======================================================================= Barry Landy, Head of Systems and Development, University of Cambridge Computing Service Barry.Landy@ucs.cam.ac.uk 0223-334713 +44-223-334713 From owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Mon Feb 7 15:43:07 1994 Received: from mx1.cac.washington.edu by shivams.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA26503; Mon, 7 Feb 94 15:43:07 -0800 Received: by mx1.cac.washington.edu (5.65/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA19961; Mon, 7 Feb 94 15:15:07 -0800 Errors-To: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Sender: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Return-Path: Received: from tomobiki-cho.cac.washington.edu by mx1.cac.washington.edu (5.65/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA19953; Mon, 7 Feb 94 15:15:02 -0800 Received: from Ikkoku-Kan.Panda.COM by Tomobiki-Cho.CAC.Washington.EDU (NX5.67d/UW-NDC Revision: 2.27.MRC ) id AA05776; Mon, 7 Feb 94 15:14:51 -0800 Received: from localhost by Ikkoku-Kan.Panda.COM (NX5.67c/UW-NDC/Panda Revision: 2.27.MRC ) id AA11968; Mon, 7 Feb 94 15:14:40 -0800 Date: Mon, 7 Feb 1994 14:35:00 -0800 (PST) From: Mark Crispin Subject: re: 8-bit characters in the header.

It is a regional character set. It may be recognized outside that region. But -- and this is important -- there are other regional character sets, and they use an overlapping space with 8859. I doubt very much that EDCfB@O: displays as anything sensible on your terminal, yet that is a standard representation of a person's name in that person's language. It's just not 8859. This is not a simple problem to solve. If it were simple, we would have solved it by now! Americans are not immune from the problem either; they just are closer to the subset and don't have to worry about losing any letters. Backslash is yen-sign in Japan. Sharp-sign is the British currency symbol in the UK. Dollar sign, at-sign, and other familiar characters (to us) are also different in various national variants of ASCII. In other words, the lingua franca of Internet email is a *subset* of 7bit ASCII. To be safe, you have to stay within that subset unless you are communicating within your region. Even after Pine supports RFC-1522 header encoding, it'll still be advisable to have an acceptable 7bit representation of your name along with the 8859 version. -- Mark -- From owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Mon Feb 7 16:14:55 1994 Return-Path: Received: from mx2.cac.washington.edu by shivams.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA27144; Mon, 7 Feb 94 16:14:55 -0800 Received: by mx2.cac.washington.edu (5.65/UW-NDC Revision: 2.29 ) id AA15860; Mon, 7 Feb 94 15:50:54 -0800 Errors-To: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Sender: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Received: from zow13.desy.de by mx2.cac.washington.edu (5.65/UW-NDC Revision: 2.29 ) id AA15844; Mon, 7 Feb 94 15:50:48 -0800 Received: by zow13.desy.de id AA02575 (5.67a8/IDA-1.5 for pine-info@cac.washington.edu); Tue, 8 Feb 1994 00:48:27 +0100 Date: Tue, 8 Feb 1994 00:48:19 +0100 (MET) From: Wojtek Bogusz Reply-To: Wojtek Bogusz Subject: 3 questions To: pine-info@cac.washington.edu Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII X-Charset: US-ASCII X-Char-Esc: 29 Hello ! I have to say I am not very experienced user of pine. But all are starting one day :-) So instead of digging in manuals or in archives of this mailing list I have decided to ask those probably easy questions: 1. When you open your INBOX you have mails sorted from newest (top) to oldest (bottom) that comes to you. Is there a way to have mails permanently sorted from oldest (top) to newest, just like in any other folders ? 2. When pine is running and new mail comes (you can see in on you xbiff, which checks mailbox once in 10 s.) you have to wait really long time until pine will realize that there is some thing new in mailbox. It is very irritating. And most of the time it is quicker to quit pine and re-run it again. Is there a way to force pine to reopen INBOX ? Or to customize time beatweane checking mailbox ? 3. Is there a plane to write Xwindows interface to pine ? Or may be there is written one ... ? If it is a FAQ or it is well explained on one of the page of the manual just please give me the pointer :-) Thanks Wojtek Bogusz From owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Mon Feb 7 16:27:26 1994 Return-Path: Received: from mx2.cac.washington.edu by shivams.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA27493; Mon, 7 Feb 94 16:27:26 -0800 Received: by mx2.cac.washington.edu (5.65/UW-NDC Revision: 2.29 ) id AA16084; Mon, 7 Feb 94 16:07:18 -0800 Errors-To: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Sender: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Received: from bohemia.med.utah.edu by mx2.cac.washington.edu (5.65/UW-NDC Revision: 2.29 ) id AA16078; Mon, 7 Feb 94 16:07:16 -0800 Received: from comet.med.utah.edu by bohemia.med.utah.edu (4.1/SMI-4.0 [uucc-nhj/15FEB1991]) id AA27866; Mon, 7 Feb 94 17:06:44 MST Received: by comet.med.utah.edu (5.57/Ultrix3.0-C) id AA11633; Mon, 7 Feb 94 17:07:14 -0700 Date: Mon, 7 Feb 1994 17:07:12 -0700 (MST) From: "Paul G.

The message is sent (and correctly received to another individual), but -- pine hangs with the "Sending mail" message. I am unable to break out of pine -- I basically have to kill the process.

All words in english use characters available in ASCII. But sometimes it is necessary to refer to names, places etc in countries that use extended alphabets. And why should't people with capable MIME-readers be able to see then "=C5ke =D6st=E4ng"'s or some Asi= ans name like it was intended to be viewed, if at all possible? And when it can't be viewed properly, the MUA should do it's best. What's the difference beteen seeing that name as "Ake Ostang", "]ke \st{ng", "_ke _st_ng", "Eke Vostdng" or whatever your MIME-reader decides on showing when the charset is missing? All of these are obfuscations of the guys real name, equally "useless". In this particular example the first alternative is the best approximation and could be achieved by using mapping tables between some character sets. There is existing code and "standard" for this available in the public domain (forgot wo wrote it though). But if the name was in Hebrew (8859-9?) or some Asian language it just can't be mapped properly on a 7bit terminal. So what? If the writer wanted everyone on the world top see it he should supply an alternate view (MIME supports that, does Pine?). In earlies version Pine could map 8bit-chars in the wrong charset to "_" or something, and that's an option the user that's afraid that odd 8bit characters in an unavailable charset may screw up the terminal, should use. = (BTW, are we talking about 8bit in pine-list or in general here? Of course we should talk in English here but a little non-ASCII doesn't hurt anyone...) A big point about MIME IMHO is that the user writing a mail shouldn't have to worry about the capabilities of the receivers MUA. MIME tags everything that's in your mail and then it's up to the receivers MUA to do whatever's appropriate. Using ISO vs Unicode/Asian charsets are irrelevant, a good MUA should be able to adopt new registred MIME-charsets and types. Pine is great in many respects but has some way to go before it becomes a good MIME-reader for other languages, for example it should support character mapping tables and viewing attachments in other charsets by switching the terminals charset (for xterm for example). The "metamail" package can do things like this. This discussion went the wrong track somewhere; the original question was why MIME was not supported in the header when it is so in the message body? These two types of encodings are described in the same RFC. The answer was that it WILL be, and we applause that (and eagerly wait for it). >> in order. 8859 is not universal.

Wishing to display your name in your language via e-mail to people that understand your language is legitimate. But I would use non-ASCII only for well defined targets and with care. Certainly an international mailing list or an international news group would not be an adequate audience. Receiving a name in a Japanese font, for example, would make no sense for me, even if my computer would be able to display it correctly. :-) Michael From owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Wed Feb 9 22:13:38 1994 Received: from mx1.cac.washington.edu by shivams.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA28030; Wed, 9 Feb 94 22:13:38 -0800 Received: by mx1.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA23579; Wed, 9 Feb 94 21:49:46 -0800 Errors-To: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Sender: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Return-Path: Received: from usage.csd.unsw.OZ.AU by mx1.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA23573; Wed, 9 Feb 94 21:49:41 -0800 Received: from cfd.mech.unsw.OZ.AU by usage.csd.unsw.OZ.AU with SMTP id AA13264 (5.65c/IDA-1.4.4 for ); Thu, 10 Feb 1994 16:49:51 +1100 Received: by cfd.mech.unsw.OZ.AU (AIX 3.2/UCB 5.64/4.03) id AA09281; Thu, 10 Feb 1994 16:49:16 +1000 Date: Thu, 10 Feb 1994 16:49:16 +1000 (EET) From: Eddie Leonardi Subject: Various To: Pine-info Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Hi!

Perhaps someone in this mailing list has figured it out?? We use HP9000/730 hosts with HP/UX 9.01 and from 700/RX X-terminals configured to use HP-Vue. PINE does not of course work properly with the default HpTerm terminal windows, you must use Xterm. In HpTerm cursors keys won't work etc. weird things happen. Modifying ttyin.c would surely fix this, but that's not my idea of having fun :-) Even when you use xterm, you must start pine from a shell. Starting pine by using 'xterm -e pine', which starts pine directly without invoking any shell first, does not work properly. Something goes wrong with the tty-driver and the screen becomes messy. This would work however: 'xterm -e csh -c pine' but executing the shell in between is really a waste of CPU time and system resources. The shell shouldn't really be needed. Then you could of course make a shell script (say eg. 'exec.pine') that contains #!/bin/csh exec pine executed by 'xterm -e exec.pine', to get rid of the shell after pine starts. This isn't very elegant either. Also, pine won't start from tcsh or zsh properly, you must use csh. This is the only program that I know of, that behaves like this. Answer may be found from ttyout.c's 2000 lines of code, or maybe it's HPs fault? The standard way to put something like pine into Vue Workspace Menu is modifying your ~/.vue/vuewmrc (or system-wide '/usr/vue/config/sys.vuewmrc') in the following manner: Menu VueRootMenu { "Workspace Menu" f.title pine _P MetaF11 f.exec "xterm -e pine" ...etc... } Can somebody explain why doesn't this work, and I really must use the ugly: pine _P MetaF11 f.exec "xterm -e csh -c pine" Equivalently, adding PINE to Front Panel goes like this. To a file called '/usr/vue/config/panels/fp.mail' you add (included in vuewmrc): CONTROL Pine { TYPE button IMAGE mail LABEL "Pine" PUSH_ACTION f.exec "xterm -e /usr/local/bin/pine" } ...etc... BOX Bottom { TYPE secondary CONTROL Pine } ... which of course doesn't work, you must make it PUSH_ACTION f.exec "xterm -e /bin/csh -c /usr/local/bin/pine" ************************ Note, that you can also replace PINE as your MAILER action, which means that you could have PINE start from the standard mail button of Front Panel. You need a file called '/usr/vue/config/types/pine.vf', that contains: ACTION Pine DESCRIPTION Pine mailer action TYPE COMMAND EXEC-STRING /usr/local/bin/pine WINDOW-TYPE TERMINAL END then in your '~/.vue/types/user-prefs.vf' OR '/usr/vue/types/user-prefs.vf': # To use a mailer other than elm, define an action for your mailer and # substitute it for Elm. ACTION Mailer TYPE MAP Pine END The problem here is that Vue absolutely refuses to use Xterm disregarding that I have defined personally and system-wide TERMINAL action as Xterm. Vue persistently uses Hpterm and Pine thus won't work. A less elegant work-around is to have a script start the xterm, which would start the shell and then pine.

I have a patch for pine version 3.87 (I haven't updated it to 3.89 yet) which makes it work properly in an hpterm (I had to because a number of our users actually use hp dumb terminals--not under x windows). There are still a few small problems, but they are basically little reverse video buglets that don't amount to much (99% of everything works correctly). I've also talked with the pine maintainers about some more hardcore changes to their terminal i/o library which would fix the rest of the problems. We may work together to integrate the changes in some future release of pine. Anyway, if you want the patch, let me know.

How do you stop pine from adding the domainname to internal messages. i.e. If I leave it blank in .pinerc then it recognizes internal mail and expands userid to username BUT my external mail does not have my correct return address, so people cannot reply back to me. If I add the domainname it appends it to internal addresses also which I would prefer not to. Any solutions? Thanks -- Burzin N.

I need some documentation on VT100 and ANSI escape codes including curur positioning and colours, etc, and would be very grateful if someone could mail me any info that they have. Thanks. Secondly; Pine and ANSI. Is there any way of getting Pine to display messages with something like More, for example so that messages including cursor postioning information could be displyed correctly (e.g. for ANSI animations). I know that you can save out the message, stip off the headers and then view it with More, but it would be nice to be able to do it all from within Pine... Charuuba!

Because pine uses the , as a delimeter between files to be included. Thus it thinks input.c,v (the RCS file for input.c) is really a request to include input.c and v.

The 3.1 version number is the version of the IMAP toolkit, which includes many components besides imapd, each with its own version number. 3.1 is the last frozen release; 3.2 is the current development version (and changes regularly).

I'm not a pine developer, but my vote is to require the comma be quoted, probably with a backslash. This way non-Unix geeks won't get screwed by trying to use a comma in a place that is perfectly reasonable, and Unix geeks will be able to figure out that a backslash is a good idea.

Was there a decision made that the added difficutly of typing ^A^K over simply ^K was sufficient to warrant disallowing the functionality of emacs's ^K? The minor frustration I feel every time I type ^K expands when I try to clean up by typing ^Y. And, as long as I'm picking nits, I'd like ^L to center the current line rather than do a simple refresh. Any thoughts?

I tend to agree with the original poster. Though I suspect that changing it now is way too late as you'll hit all those pico users. Certainly I get hit by ^K and ^Y an awful lot, especially as I use pico for small mails and switch to emacs for larger ones. Oh well. M.

Remember, however, that emacs has a semi-infinite number of commands that can be bound to a large set of keystrokes (because of ESCape... or the META key, if there are any of those keyboards still around.) In Pico we needed to live within the constraint of single control-key commands. We couldn't even use ESCape as an escape option, because we wanted arrow keys to work. We actually started with ^K being like emacs, but feedback from some of our early users suggested that this was not intuitively obvious behavior for our (original) target audience. So we changed. It has occurred to some of us that we could add an option that restored emacs-style Ctl-K behavior, and this is on the list. Ctl-O and Ctl-Y are much more difficult to deal with, because we just don't have sufficient key space. I suspect we could reduce your cognitive dissonance a bit by making it easier for emacs to be your default editor (e.g. having cursor motion into the body of the message trigger the alternate editor.) That way you'd only have to re-map your fingers when in the message header :) There are some issues in trying to do this, but we will be investigating the feasibility. We welcome all suggestions, save perhaps "Make all keybindings user-configurable..." -teg On Fri, 11 Feb 1994, Chris Garrigues wrote: > Am I the only one who has a problem with editors which are *almost* > emacs, but not quite? > > One problem I have with pine is that it's very common for me to ^P into a > message that I'm replying to and insert text in the middle.

I got my first compile error on pine. I added /usr/types.h in os-dyn.h and the program ran thourgh. Then the second problem is the fpos_t was undefined. I added typedef unsigned long fpos_t; in the source which needed this variable. Afterwards, I got something like redeclaration of formal parameter, ptr. I don't quite understand that.

If this is done, Pine should itself quote commas when suggesting file names. I started this thread after receiving a MIME-attached file, whose suggested name contained a comma.

It's not quite WordStar either. I switch between Pico in PC-Pine and other PC editors, many of which have WS keymapping.

The problem is that the functionality in the headers is very useful, so I don't really want to give that up. I think mostly I just felt like grousing a little. After all, this isn't the only "cognitive dissonance" that I suffer from: since I also use a Mac a lot, whenever I'm in gnu emacs 19, I keep expecting that if I mark a region and start typing that the marked region will magically be deleted. I don't suppose you can solve this for me. (There was a time that I was using three editors and had a problem with the escape key: One of them was teco where hitting the escape key twice executed my commands, so I got used to doing that often.

To: Petr Skoda Cc: pine-info In-Reply-To: Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Petr, This has been suggested before. Our basic opinion is that disk space is cheaper than the extra CPUs we would have to buy to support compression for a given amount of raw data. If you would like to write a c-client driver for compressed mailboxes, we can probably incorporate it into the distribution. Look in c-client/mbox.c for a template you might want to start from.

Good ideas ? To: Pine User Group X-Sender: eks@slam.aar-vki.dk Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII We are using PC-Pine with an SCO UNIX as mailserver. The mailer program on SCO is mmdf. On the SCO UNIX system we use elm as the mail reader/poster. Now it is so that PC-Pine can understand and read mails saved with elm on the SCO but elm can't understand and read mails saved with PC-Pine. The reason is that mmdf and elm saves mails in folders with a line with 4 CTRL-As before and after each mail in the folder. If these CTRL-A's are not there elm declares the folder corrupt. Does someone have a good idea about hov to solve that problem ? Of course we could read the mails in the folders with PC-Pine and resend it to ourselves and then read the incoming mail with elm. But that is a bit to crazy.

We are considering the addition of a "FCC-folder-name-rule" similar to the saved-msg-name-rule. If the user-domain variable in your .pinerc file is blank, Pine should use whatever is returned by your system. The issue of when to use it is kind of a hot topic, but we find it to be much safer and more predictable to always fully qualify addresses. Thanks for the requests! --DLM |\ | |\/| David L.

There are many readers that are both powerful and easy to use and which are easily obtainable on the net. I would prefer to see pine as a mail agent only, which does what it is supposed to do and doesn't try to be an all in one package. I would like to suggest adding an option of making an uuencoded attachment in addition to the MIME attachments. Many people don't have MIME, and it will be nice if it was possible to send a uuencoded file to those people from within pine. An automatic decoding would be nice as well :) Ilan -- _==| Ilan Graifer _==| )__) | )_) )___) )) cs922080@ariel.cs.yorku.ca )___) )____))_) yku00401@cawc.yorku.ca _ )____)_____))__)\ an41635@anon.penet.fi \---__|____/|___|___-\\--- ^^^^^^^^^\ oo oo oo oo /~~^^^^^^^ ~^^^^ ~~~~^^~~~~^^~~^^~~~~~ ~~^^ ~^^~ ~^~ ~^ ~^ ~^~~ ~~~^^~ From owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Tue Feb 15 10:44:00 1994 Received: from mx2.cac.washington.edu by shivams.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA06600; Tue, 15 Feb 94 10:44:00 -0800 Received: by mx2.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA22006; Tue, 15 Feb 94 10:12:09 -0800 Errors-To: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Sender: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Return-Path: Received: from thrain.vancouver.wsu.edu by mx2.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA22000; Tue, 15 Feb 94 10:12:01 -0800 Received: by vancouver.wsu.edu (Smail3.1.28.1 #8) id m0pWUFX-000DQbC; Tue, 15 Feb 94 10:11 PST Date: Tue, 15 Feb 1994 10:11:54 -0700 (PDT) From: "Gayland G.

We are trying to move to an electronic office and would greatly appreciate if these capabilities were made available ASAP.

Application shortcut key [None ] I did have Background priority set to 50 (not 50% BTW - 50 out of 10000) but increased it the first time PINE lost its IMAP connection (when in the background). However at the time I didn't have the Background execution box checked, which meant that PINE didn't get any time when in the background anyway (and of course it lost its connection), so I can probably put it back to 50 again. I understand that if any other application is set for Execution: Exclusive flag then it will hog the processor and prevent PINE getting timeslices, so there's still no guarantee that PINE will never lose its connection when in the background, but at least it won't do so when nothing else is happening. I'm not sure about the memory requirements - I'm pretty sure PINE doesn't use XMS or EMS, but I guess it does want 640K if it can get it...? I switched off Detect idle time as I understand (from good old Windows Secrets) that Windows can cut off the app thinking it's not doing anything if this setting is on. I wonder if PINE is Windows-aware and tells windows when it's not doing anything anyway? Maybe some Windows guru out there can suggest further tweaks.

It isn't as flexible as Elm or as Mac-like as the Mac-Eudora client. Nor does it act as a client that will phone my account periodically like AOL does. Still it is a wonderful product. My students, who are local teachers, have found ways to circumvent their VMS account, which doesn't use Pine, to telnet to WSUV, which does. That's proof of its ease of use. I would like to see Pine as a Mac POP client that uses the communications toolbox, much as Eudora does. There are many advantages to reading and writing mail offline. The first is that I can't get online. there just aren't enough dialups anymore. The second is that when I do get on, the net is too slow to think and write at the same time. This is why I've started forwarding my mail to AOL from my UNIX account. I can't check my mail several times per day automatically and read and write offline. When the dialups are busy, I don't worry because I know they will eventually be free and I don't have to keep trying to get on manually. I'd also like to see multiple personal and shared addressbooks. This would help me organize my lists (e.g., class, committee, department, professional, etc.).

To: Pine Mailing List Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I have just been the victim of a very troubling problem. My mail directory was set to 755 permissions and many of my saved mail folders were set to 644. I also found evidence that my mail was read by others since this hole opened up. Being the sys administrator here, this is a real bad problem. I now have to go through 5 megs of saved messages, look for compromising information and correct it. To settle some fears, No, Pine was not responsible for this. Also created in my mail directory was a subdir used by Macintosh file serving software that I installed on Unix months ago. Apparently, it changed the permissions, probably based on the "Privileges" menu item on the Mac that I had checked incorrectly. Yes, this is a stupid user mistake of the highest order, especially since I should know better. But what I am suggesting is the following. Since Pine is geared towards novices (and idiots like myself), can it be made to double check access rights when opening a folder for world-read permissions and perhaps warn the user in the status window ("Warning: Your folder is set to be readable by everyone on the system")? On one hand, a MUA shouldn't have to worry about double-checking for stupid luser mistakes, but on the other hand, it might make a nice public service feature! I can't really think of many reasons why people's mail should be publically readable. If it is to be shared, it should be in a public type newsgroup or bbs type thingamajig.

It would seem that a better solution to the problem you describe would be the option to save folders encrypted with some password. Then it wouldn't matter a lot if file security were compromised. Obviously it raises the issue of people forgetting their encryption keys, but I think that only argues for this not being the default. This sort of thing is becoming a more and more commonplace option in all sorts of utilities so I think people basically knows what it means and whether they want it or not (or understand in a sentence.)

I think that existing utilities for secure email, namely PGP, are a better way to go that creating Yet Another Format for encryption. PGP has a number of features that make it much more secure than what the pine developers would be able to whip up. I would prefer that Pine be developed to make it easier to integrate PGP encryption and decryption by allowing the user to pipe the contents of the current message thru a filter. > The only other problem it raises is the whole export regs spectre, but > perhaps the right approach is the sysadmin or someone enters the > command to be run on the file to encrypt or some such thing. Which brings up the topic of the Clipper chip. The US governement wants to make Clipper the standard because it will be able to hold the keys to decrypt anything it wants to see. _O_ Ryan L.

Yes, had you read my whole note before responding you would have seen this is precisely what I said and could have saved us all this follow-up.

No, actually it does not bring up the topic of the Clipper chip since this has nothing to do with Pine development except perhaps in the distant future (does Pine use any chips explicitly? Is it likely to?) My suggestion about export regs was meant only as an argument for a site-configurable command to encrypt so sites which do not have something like DES can use something else without trouble, and the pine folks don't have to worry about complying with export regulations since they wouldn't be shipping any cryptography software, only a method for incorporating your own.

Regardless of legal issues, all I'm asking is that pine be configured to allow people to use filters of thier own creation, be they PGP or just crypt. I think creating the option to pipe out the current message would be a heck of alot more useful than simple encryption of a folder. > I assume, however, you are an officer of > your university with fidiciary responsibilities so are able to make > the determination of potential liabilities for yourself.

Is it likely to?) I think the whole topic of encryption in the US leads to discussion of clipper. I'd rather know that my mail is indeed secure, and not able to be opened when the government feels like snooping around in it, or when someone else manages to get the keys. I'd rather hold the keys to my own mail box, thank you. > My suggestion about export regs was meant only as an argument for a > site-configurable command to encrypt so sites which do not have > something like DES can use something else without trouble, and the > pine folks don't have to worry about complying with export regulations > since they wouldn't be shipping any cryptography software, only a > method for incorporating your own.

The computer system implementation is called Capstone. The secret NSA/NIST algorithm is Skipjack. Nothing (yet) in the current U.S. government proposals prohibits private citizens from using any encryption schemes they wish in their electronic mail or file transfers. There are plenty of good reasons for opposing the key escrow, secret algorithm and special chip proposals widely mis-referred to as the "Clipper initiative", as well as for opposing the restrictions on encryption software exports, but threat to software email encryption is probably not among them. See the Risks forum 15.47 and following, for a good discussion of the current state or peruse documents on the gopher and ftp servers of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, gopher.eff.org and ftp.eff.org. User agent support for viewing encrypted mail deserves a little more thought than simply providing hooks to external filters---which in my opinion is a Good Thing on its own. For example, automatic reply to an encrypted message should possibly be encrypted by default, with key options that permit the use of the same key or one-time key generation. Already viewed mail should possibly remain encrypted for storage, etc. etc. Of course, the best thing would be to embed a Lisp interpreter in Pine with access to messages and other internal objects. Then we could use the 20 years worth of emacs lisp contribiutions out there, including ones which deal with encryption..... Hah, hah, only serious.

What would be really nice if there was a system pine.conf file and then a copy of a .pinerc file that can be copied to a user's directory on the first startup.

These are both people running from > SGIs in case anyone wants to know. There are a number of reasons why the user has to type their username and password each time that they use Pine. I have tracked down the following: (1) The .cshrc file does output to the screen, e.g., it uses the echo command. The user will need to remove the appropriate command(s) from the .cshrc file. (2) The .cshrc file contains one or more of the Unix commands biff, mesg, stty. Probably the command can be moved to the .login file. The problem also occurs if the file /etc/rimapd has not been set up on the IMAP machine. This would affect all users that IMAP into that machine. The problem will also occur if the Pine code executes the wrong command when it wants to set up a remote shell from the machine running Pine to the IMAP machine. For example, if the code says that the remote shell command is /usr/bin/rsh when in fact the command on the machine running Pine is /usr/ucb/rsh or /usr/bin/remsh. Note that both of these would affect all users of Pine on the machine running Pine. If other people know of any more reasons, then I would be interested to see them. I also think it would be useful if this information were included in the intended FAQ. I think some of our users believe that user-authentication is a part of the way in which Pine works, because it has always done that whenever they use Pine. It would be nice to have more ammunition to dispel this rumour. -- Barry Cornelius Durham (091 or +44 91) 374 4717 Information Technology Service, IT Service Office: 374 2892 University of Durham, Durham.

The IMAP daemons run on a SunOS 4.1.3 computer called venus. We are using the version supplied with Pine 3.89, namely IMAP2bis Version 7.5(72). When Pine is run, it sets up two rsh processes to venus: rsh venus exec /etc/rimapd When Pine 3.89 (or 3.88) is run on a SunOS 5.2 machine, sometimes one of the two rsh processes still remains after the user has left Pine.

Funnily enough, in composing this reply (or rather the version before, 'coz Pine crashed out and lost that message :-( - see my earlier bug report) I got a flash that I had new mail from David L Miller re: postponed composition, so I postponed and went to see your mail (it was just the other copy of this message which you'd sent to me and to the list) and then returned. Really it's all a workaround for not having a true Windows Pine, in which the index, received message viewer and composer are separate windows with multiple instances which the user can swap between. I'm not hassling you guys - I'm sure you have lives outside work :-) - just making a (wishful) observation!

The must have an existing ~/mbox before pine will start moving over the mail. I accomplished this by creating an empty ~/mbox for every user with a .pinerc file and then adding an empty one to the default skeleton given to new accounts. _O_ Ryan L.

I've seen what might be a related problem with the 2.3 rshd. If you run truss on the stuck process and see it spinning in a 'wait() Err#10 ECHILD' loop then it's the same problem. Haven't seen anything about rshd in the Solaris patch database; maybe one of this week's socket/tcp/kernel patches will fix it.

Since breaking a MIME multipart message into its component parts is very easy to do with a text editor (just look for the "--boundary" lines), I suspect that you are really looking for a base64 decoder. I have written a perl package (available from ftp://ftp.ee.und.ac.za/pub/unix/base64.pl) that includes functions for converting in all six possible directions between base64, uuencode and pure binary formats; using these functions, a simple base64 decoder is a one-line perl program: require 'base64.pl'; undef $/; $_ = <>; print &base64'b64decode($_); --apb Alan Barrett, Dept. of Electronic Eng., Univ. of Natal, Durban, South Africa RFC822: barrett@ee.und.ac.za From owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Wed Feb 16 13:15:29 1994 Received: from mx2.cac.washington.edu by shivams.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA13821; Wed, 16 Feb 94 13:15:29 -0800 Received: by mx2.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA10005; Wed, 16 Feb 94 12:48:32 -0800 Errors-To: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Sender: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Return-Path: Received: from saturn.soils.umn.edu by mx2.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA09999; Wed, 16 Feb 94 12:48:30 -0800 Received: by saturn.soils.umn.edu (4.1) id AA13025; Wed, 16 Feb 94 14:46:32 CST Date: Wed, 16 Feb 94 14:46:32 CST From: "John Ladwig" Message-Id: <9402162046.AA13025@saturn.soils.umn.edu> To: Jason Cross Cc: pine-info@cac.washington.edu Subject: Re: Mime decoder In-Reply-To: Jason Cross's message of 16 February 1994 References: >>>>> On Wed, 16 Feb 1994 13:53:50 -0500 (EST), Jason Cross said: Jason> Is there a mime decoder available for those users who receive Jason> messages with mime attachments, yet do not have a mime mailer?

Pine currently creates the mail directory for postponed and interrupted messages. It doesn't create the directory(ies) defined by folder-collections in the .pinerc file if they don't already exist. It would be a welcome additional feature, I think. Enlightenment is appreciated on the matter. Regarding the earlier problem with the user running a program from his .cshrc file and being forced to authenticate, the person who suggested the interactive shell check was on the mark.

At least the first of your suggestions will be available in the next release of Pine. We do not have any current plans for an X interface, although we have toyed with the idea of some primitive mouse support, about like PC-Pine has.

There is a high degree of common functionality and purpose between news and mail. I for one strongly prefer them to be combined. As a busy administrator of many systems two into one goes down a treat in reducing the number of packages to maintain. Also, I don't wish to hop about between packages when replying to news articles via mail, forwarding etc. I use and prefer a common news and mail utility on my PC at home. I think you are underestimating the PINE team in implying that they wouldn't make as good a job of it as existing news offerings on the net. I'm sure they'd do even better! In any case, if you don't want to use PINE's in-built news facilities you don't have to. There seems little reason not to continue the logical path on which PINE has embarked. > I would like to suggest adding an option of making an uuencoded attachment > in addition to the MIME attachments.

Even though it's easy to do by shelling out it's a common enough operation to warrent a built-in facility IMHO. Regards, -- Martin G. Beenham "IT - what's that?"

Just created a new user "mtom", and I've triple-checked it by now. We have another user "stom" on a different system (but same NIS domain). For a while, mtom was sending out messages that had two From headers, which by itself doesn't seem out of the ordinary, but maybe someone who's more up on the RFC than I can correct me. The problem is the headers were different-- the first said "mtom" and the second said "stom". The comment (GCOS) field was even filled in accordingly on the second "From" (which was actually "From:" with the colon). Both users said they could not find the message in the sent-mail folder, although here I am telling you what I found in this folder. If you have an idea what might be causing this, I'd like to hear it. If someone can definitely rule out that this might be a Pine problem, I'll be glad to hear that too. :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Elmar Kurgpold | EMAIL: ekurgpol@Law.USC.EDU | | Network Administrator | VOICE: (213)740-2571 | | University of Southern California | FAX: (213)740-5502 | | The Law Center | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Thu Feb 17 14:26:16 1994 Received: from mx2.cac.washington.edu by shivams.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA12804; Thu, 17 Feb 94 14:26:16 -0800 Received: by mx2.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA25382; Thu, 17 Feb 94 14:03:06 -0800 Errors-To: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Sender: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Return-Path: Received: from shiva1.cac.washington.edu by mx2.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA25374; Thu, 17 Feb 94 14:03:02 -0800 Received: by shiva1.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA09786; Thu, 17 Feb 94 14:02:36 -0800 Date: Thu, 17 Feb 1994 14:02:35 -0800 (PST) From: David L Miller Subject: Re: Multiple Personal and Shared Addressbooks To: John Trimble Cc: pine-info@cac.washington.edu In-Reply-To: Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII John, Thanks for the suggestion! --DLM |\ | |\/| David L.

If you take a look, at any of the newsreaders that are available for UNIX, you will see that there are many different options, and incorporating them into pine will create a package that will be extremely hard to use for novice users. I think the best part about pine is it's ease of use, and simplicity, thus adding so many features will increase the number of options and reduce the usefulness of the whole package. > > I use and prefer a common news and mail utility on my PC at home.

I had no intention to imply that the PINE team can't create a newsreader that will be as good or even better than other newsreaders that are available, but I just don't feel it is necessary to reinvent the wheel all over again. On a UNIX platform there are many good newsreaders, including readers for the X window system, such as rn, trn, xrn and several others. If the system in question is DOS based, then I am not sure if there exist any good newsreaders. In this case a combined news/mail client can be a good idea, but I feel that the news should be implemented only in PC-PINE, and preferably as a second package that will interact closely with pine.

(please!) I'm wanting to use Pine to send binary files around, specifically WordPerfect 5.1, and Microsoft Word. There are IANA defined MIME type/subtype's defined for these document types (application/wordperfect5.1, application/msword). When I upload a WordPerfect 5.1 file from my PC to my workstation and attach it to a message with Pine, Pine sends it as test/plain. I need some way to tell Pine that this file is to be sent as application/wordperfect5.1 with base64 encoding. I'd think you'd do that with some type of mapping from the file extension (e.g., *.w51 maps to application/wordperfect5.1 with base64 encoding). Does Pine support such mappings or is there an alternate way to accomplish the same objective? I would really appreciate your help with this question.

In some cases, the file extension is the only thing available to distinguish the data --but should it be trusted to be correct? I'm actually surprised that the WP doc ended up as text/plain, rather than application/octet-stream, but either way we agree that having the official type recognized is highly desirable. The existing mechanisms should be sufficient to get the document to the recipient without corruption (note that Pine uses B64-encoding even text attachments, to assure their integrity), but automated processing by the recipient does require proper typing. -teg On Fri, 18 Feb 1994, Jamey Maze wrote: > I'm wanting to use Pine to send binary files around, specifically > WordPerfect 5.1, and Microsoft Word.

For the novice user, the transition from a mail folder to a newsgroup will be barely noticable. One of the biggest reasons for putting news support into pine is to give the novice user something that is not as daunting as the conventional Unix newsreader. Pine will probably never be as sophisticated as the big news packages, but they do not meet the usability needs of our primary target audience! |\ | |\/| David L.

I dont know how the average user feels about this but if we just wanted to stick to the Yes/No answer format then I'd much rather have Pine ask me if I want to overwrite the file. I use temp a lot too and I can't remember a single time when i needed Pine to append a message to a file. Of course there are probably LOTS of users who might disagree with me on this but then again maybe not!?

They are getting pretty hard to find, but there is bound to be someone over there who has a dusty copy on their bookshelf... The next version of Pine will have a Pipe command, but it will feed back into the same scrolltool() routine. If you have mutiple screens (physical or virtual) you should be able to come up with a clever way to make it work though... Thanks for the requests! --DLM |\ | |\/| David L.

Just simple programming hooks that would allow us who can program to tailor items into Pine without having to modify actual source code in the distribution. Also, if address book could do expansions, with same user interface as folders, is "personal addressbook" "system addressbook" etc...

There actually was a bug in the PMDF mail user agent under VMS which caused it to display quoted-printable mail incorrectly. I had a hard time in convinving our VMS admin, but that's an entirely different story :-) Upgrading PMDF fixed it.

Hayden" Cc: Pine Info In-Reply-To: Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Bounce, aka "resend" or "remail", will prompt you for one or more addresses to resend the message to. Upon arrival, the message will retain the *originator's* From: line, rather than appearing to be from you. So replies by the final addressee will go back to the originator, unlike the Forward case. There will be "Resent-From:" and "Resent-To:" headers added to give the recipient a hint as to why they received it. You will not have an opportunity to edit or otherwise modify the message. The principle purpose of bounce is to re-direct mail that was mis-addressed or more appropriately sent elsewhere. Another use is for list moderators to easily redirect candidate messages to the actual list. -teg On Sun, 20 Feb 1994, Robert A.

I entirely disagree that enhancing the existing news funcionality of PINE by implementing threading would either increase the complexity or make it harder to use. For those who do not wish to utilise the news functionality it need not be enabled, as now. For those who do, the single package for dealing with both news and mail would make usage easier not more difficult. There would not be the requirement to learn a whole set of different commands for a separate package (eg trn). I would think that implementing threading which extended to mail as well as news would be enthusiastically received by all who have actually used a threaded mail reader (and would be a new delight to those who havn't). > If you take a look, at any of the newsreaders that are available for UNIX, > you will see that there are many different options, and incorporating them > into pine will create a package that will be extremely hard to use for > novice users. > I think the best part about pine is it's ease of use, and simplicity, thus > adding so many features will increase the number of options and reduce the > usefulness of the whole package. We are talking here about a package that already has much of the functionality of a news utility. I use PINE to look at news from time to time, but the absence of threading make it hard work.(Even harder for a novice). Threading of mail would make for a much easier system for novices to get to grips with. I use a threaded mail/news system so speak from experience. > I had no intention to imply that the PINE team can't create a newsreader > that will be as good or even better than other newsreaders that are > available, but I just don't feel it is necessary to reinvent the wheel all > over again. If you think about it, we're not reinventing the wheel. What we're actually doing is enabling the PINE's existing news functionality to be used more powerfully, especially by novice users. > On a UNIX platform there are many good newsreaders, including readers for > the X window system, such as rn, trn, xrn and several others. I use and administrate all these readers from time to time and I think that asking a novice to cope with the range of options available under eg. trn is asking a lot. PINE has been developed so that it's very easy for new users to pick up and use, yet has advanced functionality that those of us who know where to look can utilise. Asking a novice user to use trn is on a par with asking him to use vi as his mail editor (IMHO). > If the system in question is DOS based, then I am not sure if there exist > any good newsreaders.

In the DOS arena there are a number of news and mail utilities. Most that I have encountered are good. >From home I use a dialup SLIP with winsock under windows to access Internet with a combined news and mail utility which is threaded. It makes the facilities available within most UNIX mail and news offerings I've implemented and encountered appear crude and cumbersome. (And I'm a UNIX devotee who LOVES vi!). When PC-PINE has a winsock implementation AND threads mail and news I'll think carefully about changing my personal setup. I want my users to have a system that's simple in concept to understand and not a kludge of disparate applications doing essentially the same job. Hence my request to extend the existing news functionality of PINE by threading. (That's all I asked), because I think the PINE team have got the balance between funtionality and ease of use right.

I await the pleasure with antici..............................pation. It's refreshing to find somebody who actually knows the needs of their primary target audience. Just thread your mail as well as news (optionally for those who like difficult news reading?) and you'll be dead centre! As has been said, there are plenty of monolithic newsreaders (And good they are too for those that can afford the time and think it worthwhile to master them) so you're right not to make another one (IMHO). ;-) Regards, -- Martin G.

I agree with having Pine have SIMPLE newsreading capabilities, for the following reasons: 1: some sites (e.g. this one) do not have a newsreader, even rn, available so it's pine or nothing (and as Ilan acknowledges, for PCs this is pretty much true too) 2: as a recent novice user of rn I found it extremely hard to get the hang of, and this had put me off making the effort to learn to use it for ages - Pine makes it easy enough to start that the user can soon find out whether it's for them or not - and if it is can get some appreciation of the value of features like threading and know a bit of what to look for in a 'real' newsreader. And I don't think it has to make Pine difficult to use - the present newsreading (which only works for me on unix version 3.0something, not the PC version for some reason :-( ) doesn't change the Pine user interface one jot, and is so much easier than rn that if I could kill or follow a thread I'd want for nothing else. (Actually I'd like to see killing and threading in pine for MAIL, but that's another story...)

Practically the only difference is the IMAP logon IF your Unix version doesn't use IMAP and IF you don't have PCPINE store your password - otherwise you might never know the difference. Except when PCPINE runs out of memory, falls over and waves its little legs in the air! :-) Oh and PC - 'compile' - what's a compiler? ;-) Installation is as easy/pig-awful-difficult as any other PC application - i.e. a real pain first time, then OK once you know how. (I gave up on the soi-disant PCNFS version - not even any documentation to tell you why it doesn't work! - but the packet driver version works fine. If you're not using packet drivers .... tough!

Well John, I think it's all part of the same story - and very central to the plot ;-) That's the argument I'm trying to make, anyway... One of many good reasons for having threaded mail (as well as news): The use of threading in mail means that excessive quoting of preceding articles in a thread is rendered unnecessary. This should reduce the load on the Internet, make mail easier to read and reduce space taken on disk by stored messages. I'm not too sure about killing mail. I use kill files to kill the body of large news articles eg. those in bin group, so I can fetch later if the header looks interesting. (Also to avoid articles written by known abusives, drivel generators or those with signatures that take up half a page: please excuse my rantings). In the case of mail, killing is a fairly final action! Better not IMHO because you can't fetch a killed mail article later if you change your mind or set the template such that it's killed accidentally (very likely with novice users). I'm certainly a member of the KISS camp, and agree with the sentiments of the rest of your article. I'm not denegrating trn, I use it daily and it's good and fast. But inflicting it on novices?

Martin, No need to start a signature campaign... threading has been part of the plan since we first started thinking about news support (a long time ago)! However, threading may not make it into the upcoming release, and the first iteration may be "poor man's" threading based on a Subject sort... but whatever is there will certainly apply to both news and mail. We have *not* thought about adding kill files, though I confess I've seen a few messages that tempt me mightily :) For the record: the next Pine release will include news posting and subscription/unsubscription, plus a bunch of other stuff like mailcap support. Threading, etc, is in the works, but I don't know exactly when it will be ready. -teg From owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Mon Feb 21 10:17:00 1994 Received: from mx1.cac.washington.edu by shivams.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA17693; Mon, 21 Feb 94 10:17:00 -0800 Received: by mx1.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA14042; Mon, 21 Feb 94 09:59:38 -0800 Errors-To: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Sender: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Return-Path: Received: from mason1.gmu.edu by mx1.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA14036; Mon, 21 Feb 94 09:59:36 -0800 Received: by mason1.gmu.edu (5.65/DEC-Ultrix/4.3/GMUv3) id AA22911; Mon, 21 Feb 1994 12:59:35 -0500 Date: Mon, 21 Feb 1994 12:59:35 -0500 (EST) From: Sherry Lake Reply-To: Sherry Lake Subject: RE: Bug Found in Pine....

Unfortunately, the current version of Pine does not know how to eXclude those messages from the Index view (stay tuned for the next release), but the "D" status should be remembered across sessions by virtue of the .newsrc info.

A very good point Richard, but not strictly true ;) If I send mail or news without excessive quoting then that will reduce network traffic whether or not the recipient has a threaded mail or news reader. The hope is that in order to follow threads efficiently the recipient will get a threaded reader and the usage of threaded readers will grow like wildfire. Network traffic due to mail and news will be reduced by 90% and everything in the garden will be rosy. Could this be the real world? But I'm sure I'm preaching to the converted ;) I've probably generated enough noise on the subject for now... so I'll shut up.

I suppose I can wait until the multiple postponed messages support is added. :-) However, I'd just like to mention that most of the mail I compose is a reply to someone else's mail. Personally, I think of all the methods of starting the composer essentially the same, except that the different information may already be filled in. If I were just giving simple "Yes", "No", or "Here is the info you requested" answers, then I would find the behavior annoying. Frankly, I found it annoying at first when I used the simple "compose" command-- but I got used to it. I think it is a fair request to allow the user to postpone *any* message s/he composes, no matter what command was used to fire up the editor. Thanks for the consideration!

A hack that will make Pine use shorter lines is to run "stty cols 70" or some such before entering Pine. This will cause it to think the screen is actually narrower than it is and thus break on shorter lines. The drawback of this is that Pine uses the narrower width for everything...

I was referring to postponing a message when there was already one postponed. If the multiple postpones feature is coming in the next release, then my question is moot anyway. :-) I basically just want the warning about a previously postponed message ***every*** time you start a new message. I know that normally you wouldn't want to continue your previous message if you were doing a reply (well, that's debatable), but if you start a message and *can't* postpone it, I think it's fair that you be told. 8-D On Wed, 23 Feb 1994, Richard Lee wrote: > On Tue, 22 Feb 1994, Elmar Kurgpold wrote: > > > . . .

Take the case of a University (say) with X thousand mail users and a single mail server. Now I figure if everyone used an SMTP/POPx client the system would cope fairly well. If though everyone used an IMAP client I figure the system would clog. I have no proof or evidence for this. It is just something I feel in my bones.

It seems that you have several misconceptions, which I hope I can clarify. There is no ``IMAP vs SMTP'' issue. Like POP clients, IMAP clients use SMTP for mail delivery. Actually some POP clients may use an undocumented extension feature in some POP servers to deliver mail without using SMTP, so one could say the issue is ``SMTP/IMAP vs POP''. However, it is generally a bad idea to use an access protocol such as POP or IMAP to deliver mail (a long description of why this is so is in the IMAP4 draft document). It is incorrect to think of POP as being ``connectionless''. POP is as much a connection-oriented protocol as IMAP is. The difference is that for the most part you use POP to download all messages from the server to the client, delete from the server, and close the connection. IMAP permits this mode of operation, but also offers a mode in which you manipulate data on the server without having to download the entire mail folder (which implies keeping the connection open). IMAP servers, in general, use remarkably little CPU time. Depending upon folder format, my implementation may need some virtual memory (note the word ``virtual'' -- it tolerates being paged out quite nicely) but even that isn't necessarily the case; one folder format is quite a miser on system resources. We have NEVER observed a system being overloaded because of IMAP servers. In general, long before the system runs out of resources to handle IMAP servers, you run into trouble due to other reasons related to a overlarge user population; inadequate disk space, lock contention between sendmail processes, access to /tmp, etc. In fact, sendmail will drag such a system to its knees long before IMAP servers will. This isn't to say that there is no cost differential between IMAP and POP. There is. However, the concerns expressed tend to be overblown. Most IMAP users are likely to be mobile users, who would otherwise log in to the server system as a timesharing user. An IMAP server is ALWAYS less costly than a user mail program run on that system. That is, a user running PC Pine to a UNIX based server causes MUCH LESS of a load on that server than by running UNIX Pine on the UNIX machine. -- Mark -- From owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Thu Feb 24 08:33:06 1994 Received: from mx2.cac.washington.edu by shivams.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA07241; Thu, 24 Feb 94 08:33:06 -0800 Received: by mx2.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA12464; Thu, 24 Feb 94 08:10:23 -0800 Errors-To: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Sender: owner-pine-info@cac.washington.edu Received: from julia.math.ucla.edu by mx2.cac.washington.edu (5.65+UW94/UW-NDC Revision: 2.30 ) id AA12458; Thu, 24 Feb 94 08:10:19 -0800 Received: from helios.pic.ucla.edu by julia.math.ucla.edu (Sendmail 4.1/1.09) id AA10423; Thu, 24 Feb 94 08:11:49 PST Return-Path: Received: by helios.pic.ucla.edu (Sendmail 4.1/1.09) id AA10082; Thu, 24 Feb 94 08:11:45 PST Date: Thu, 24 Feb 1994 08:11:45 -0800 (PST) From: Ami Fischman Subject: Alternate editor To: pine-info@cac.washington.edu Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Is there any way to change the DEFAULT editor in pine, so that it automatically puts me into (say, ) emacs whenever I would otherwise be put in pine? --Ami Have YOU hugged your smurf today??

Is there a way in pine to define "user" headers, such as Reply-To: and Return-Receipt-To:, so they will be included on an out-going message. In 'elm' and 'mush', you can create user-definable headers. If not, any plans in the future??? 2. Can you include other messages while composing a message? For example, I am composing a message to "jay" and want to include message 34 and 56 from my INBOX in this message. Is there a way to "easily" do this?

We are still working out the mechanisms to allow user-defined headers in a reasonable way. Currently, the only way to include multiple messages in an outgoing message is to export them to a file and read them into or attach them to the new composition. The next version of Pine will at least start to simplify that procedure. Thanks for the requests! --DLM |\ | |\/| David L.

A case-insensitive comparison is reasonable, but not a numeric-insensitive comparison (note 8879 vs 8859). I think that 8879 is an error on the part of whomever sent the message.

This is often caused by not having the required blank line between the header and body of the message. Or, the boundaries between parts may not be in quite the expected form, etc. My first recommendation would be to upgrade to Pine 3.89. If Pine 3.89 still cannot read the problem messages, send us a copy of one of them as an attachment and we will figure out what the problem is. Thanks for the report! --DLM |\ | |\/| David L.

The ideal behavior would be for Pine to know that the folder was read-only and to not attempt to get write access. Unfortunately, there is currently no mechanism for this except for the first folder opened, in which case you can use "-o" on the command line.

Rogers" Cc: pine-info@cac.washington.edu In-Reply-To: <9402231345.AA29653@nascar.Princeton.EDU> Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Lawrence, The message ``Folder format invalidated (consult an expert), aborted'' means that Pine was reading your mail folder, and at the point in which it expected a start-of-message header line, it found something else. The start-of-message header line is in the form: From smith@blurdybloop.com Wed Feb 23 11:43:10 PST 1994 There are variations in the format of the date and time. The ``format invalidated'' condition can happen in one of three ways: 1) bad data exists at the beginning of the folder. 2) data was appended to the folder after Pine initially read it, and the new data did not begin with a start-of-message-header. 3) the folder was modified without Pine being aware of it. All three problems are generally caused by software external to Pine. Condition (1) can be determined by whether or not the problem repeats itself after restarting Pine. If restarting Pine does not make the problem go away, then you need to look at the actual file for the folder and see what is wrong with the very first line. In particular, make sure that the first character of the folder file is a capital ``F'' , the second an ``r'', the third an ``o'', etc. Condition (2) may be caused by a mail delivery process (e.g. /bin/mail) which writes some characters other than ``From '' at the beginning of the new data. Condition (3) is caused by some program manipulating the mail folder without following the Pine folder locking protocol. This is a general problem on UNIX. Conditions (2) and (3) have also been known to occur when accessing folders via NFS, if the information returned by the stat() and read() system calls do not correspond with each other as a result of NFS buffer caching. Restarting Pine on that folder always clears conditions (2) and (3). If the problem is chronic, it may be worth an investigation to determine its cause. Usually, it is due to the misbehavior of some external software. The reason why Pine gives up with conditions (2) and (3) is that it does not want to risk damaging user data by guessing what is right. Pine never writes to the folder unless it is absolutely sure it knows what it is doing. There are some steps which can be taken to reduce the risk of these conditions coming up. Some of these steps may require the assistance of your system adminstrator (or whomever it was that built and installed Pine on your system): 1) Use IMAP instead of NFS to access remote folders. This is perhaps the single most important cause of user difficulties. 2) Consider enabling the mbox driver in Pine. If the mbox driver is enabled, mail is transferred from the /usr/spool/mail mail into a file called mbox in your home directory, if mbox exists. The home directory mbox file is then your INBOX. This has the advantage that Pine and the mail delivery system are never in contention for the INBOX. Pine only empties the /usr/spool/mail file, it never tries updating it. 3) Be careful not to run other programs that access your folders while you are running Pine. Such programs may modify the folder from under Pine, and lead Pine to conclude that there is a problem. Thanks for the report! --DLM |\ | |\/| David L.

Congratulations on developing an easy and useful= =20 mail handler. But (compliments are often followed by buts) 1. Is it (or could it be made) possible to have the Receipt Time recorded in the header of incoming messages, as well as the Date and time of dispatch? Sometimes messages are received in a different chronological order from that of their dispatch, and it would be useful to have this information recorded.=20 2. Is it (or could it be made) possible to bring in another message during a Reply (i.e., other than the message being Replied to)? The only way I can see to do this at present is to export that message to a file, and then read it into the reply. But that means anticipating that the message will be needed; if not, the Reply must be postponed while the export is done.=20 I look forward to your comments.
