This issue came up about a month ago. Here is what worked for me: --- snip --- Do you remember some months ago that I complained about pine being slow to send mail? Well, here's the solution from a fellow Linux user: ---quote--- It seems that when pine did the last major upstream release, the config file changed (at least in my case, but I could have changed it awhile ago). Anyway edit .pinerc and change sendmail-path (originally blank) to the example that is commented out: # This names the path to an alternative program, and any necessary arguments, # to be used in posting mail messages. Example: # /usr/lib/sendmail -oem -t -oi # or, # /usr/local/bin/sendit.sh # The latter a script found in Pine distribution's contrib/util directory. # NOTE: The program MUST read the message to be posted on standard input, # AND operate in the style of sendmail's "-t" option. sendmail-path=/usr/lib/sendmail -oem -t -oi This made my pine lightning fast without the possible problems of using the background sending option. ---quote--- --- snip --- ...RickM... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
