Based upon the headers of your message, it looks like you're using pine v4.05. (look at the top-left corner of your pine display for the version string, or invoke it as "pine -v"). That's a pretty ancient version, I think that the U-Washington site is up to version 4.58. IIRC, that got fixed somewhere around v4.3*, I'm using 4.44 and it doesn't have that problem. So the answer is to upgrade your pine. http://www.washington.edu/pine/ -- Dave Funk University of Iowa <dbfunk (at) engineering.uiowa.edu> College of Engineering 319/335-5751 FAX: 319/384-0549 1256 Seamans Center Sys_admin/Postmaster/cell_admin Iowa City, IA 52242-1527 #include <std_disclaimer.h> Better is not better, 'standard' is better.
