Re: Bug#932: Pine over-encodes files and auto-requests document

[Dale Scheetz <dwarf@polaris.net>]

This bug report violates the single issue requirement of a bug report. 
However, the complaint that ^J does what the documentation declares that 
it will do, does not, in my mind, constitute a bug.

Pine provides ^R as the inclusion feature. You can include uuencoded 
programs using this feature, or just include plain text from some other 
source.

^J is declared to create a mime attatchment to the current e-mail 
message. You can use this feature with a uuencoded file if you with but 
that was not it's intent.

As to the second part of this bug report, I will include 
SecretsOfPine-3.9 in the next release. The proper way to disable the 
initial message about this document is to put a copy of pine.conf into 
/etc/skel/.pinerc. This is, however, the perview of the system 
administrator and I as the package maintainer am not going to pre-dictate 
this as the default state of the package.

I intend to close this bug report as soon as I release the ELF version of 
pine/pico/imapd.

Later,

Dwarf
