5/28 How would one configure pine to change the format of the file
name of the old sent-mail folders? Instead of sent-mail-feb-2000,
something like sent-mail-2000-feb, so that an ls of the directory
will sort them correctly (sorting by creation date won't work in
my case).
\_ mh.
\_ maybe make an alias that does: ls sentmail* | sort -t- +3
But even if you changed it to YYYY-MMM, wouldnt "ls" still
not sort correctly? (the months would not be in sequence)
Pine is so lame.
Pine is so lame...maybe there is a way to make it use
numeric months, since not everybody speaks english anyways?
\_ Why try to force pine to do something it can't? Either
change the source and recompile or use a real mail handler.
\_ pine is a real mail reader you air-head. Just because
some people don't like to type inc, scan, comp, munpack
whatever doesn't make pine any less of a mail reader
than mh.
\_ Uh oh... someone displaying their near total
ignorance of mh and then calling someone else an
air-head. Sigh... I suppose I shouldn't have hoped
for better from newbie pine users on the motd. Pine
is a cute toy for kids and works just fine if you
are happy with the defaults someone else has set
for you. If you want to take control of your mail,
use a real mail handling system instead of a kid's
toy. Nothing beats procmail/mh for total control,
but it isn't a toy for kids. It requires some tiny
effort to learn. Power comes with a price, kids.
Some assembly required. Ask your parents for help. |
