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.

3/10    What email program do people in Cal CS use nowadays?  In my school days
        people used /usr/bin/mail, then RMail in emacs, then VMail in emacs.
        After my days people used Elm, Pine, Mutt (I forgot which order).  In
        my first two jobs we could tell the seniority of fellow engineers based
        on which email program they use at work, because everyone used what
        they used to use in their school years.  In my last two jobs though,

2/20    There was a failure validating the SSL/TLS certificate for the server

        The reason for the failure was

        We have not verified the identity of your server. If you ignore this certificate validation

9/22    Gmail's "conversation feature" drives me nuts! Is there a way to
        disable that and make Gmail act like every other e-mail client on the
        planet? WTF thought this was a nice thing to have on by default?

           \_ Umm, I do, which is how I have something to compare to. I get

4/17    Is IMAP up?  If not, how can I get pine/mutt to read my new
        maildir-based mail folder?
        \_ Pine and mutt both have native maildir support -- they should be
           able to access your inbox without any special configuration.  You
           can also use IMAP if you want, but only the secure version (imaps),
           Let me know if these aren't working for you.  --mconst
