It would appear that on Apr 7, alex did say: > Does PINE email have the capability to display threaded messages or to > 'reply' to messages? > > alex Well I'm no expert on threads Alex, But I'm a pine user so maybe I can be of help. Pine can definitely reply to messages. It's designed for both email and newsgroups. In this list I subscribe to the attachment version of the digest, I simply select a message attachment in the attachment list, use "v" or enter to "view" it, if I want to reply or save the individual message I simply start the reply or save operation while I'm viewing and pine includes the header lines: => References: => In-Reply-To: That I'm told are used for threading. It does NOT however show you that it's doing so during the reply. It does the same thing for non-digest messages with even less fuss. But I don't think it can capture thread headers if you reply to the text version digest. But otherwise it does so, so well in fact, that I'd strongly recommend taking care to use it's "c"ompose command to start any new threads, and to NOT think you can get a clean new thread by erasing the visible header information from a "r"eply command... Pine is not a *gui application but is a highly configurable menu based console application (*unless you count the windows version) Pine works quite well as a mail/news client. And can be configured to launch gui applications to view selected non text attachments... Now about "display threaded messages" Since I don't use it, I can't tell you how well it's threading works But you can set the sort order in pine to several values, including thread. These are snipped from pine 4.58's setup|configuration settings. (4.58 rpm is available for FC1 at dag's repository) -> Set Sort Options -> --- ---------------------- -> ( ) Subject -> (*) Arrival -> ( ) From -> ( ) To -> ( ) Cc -> ( ) Date -> ( ) siZe -> ( ) OrderedSubj -> ( ) scorE -> ( ) tHread -> ( ) Reverse Subject -> ( ) Reverse Arrival -> ( ) Reverse From -> ( ) Reverse To -> ( ) Reverse Cc -> ( ) Reverse Date -> ( ) Reverse siZe -> ( ) Reverse OrderedSubj -> ( ) Reverse scorE -> ( ) Reverse tHread -> Biggest drawback here is I didn't find a way to set this separately for each folder, or even folder type <sigh> And I like to see my e-mail in the order of arrival... -> threading-display-style = -> Set Rule Values -> --- ---------------------- -> ( ) none -> (*) show-thread-structure (default) -> ( ) mutt-like -> ( ) indent-subject-1 -> ( ) indent-subject-2 -> ( ) indent-from-1 -> ( ) indent-from-2 -> ( ) show-structure-in-from -> threading-index-style = -> Set Rule Values -> --- ---------------------- -> (*) regular-index-with-expanded-threads (default) -> ( ) regular-index-with-collapsed-threads -> ( ) separate-index-screen-always -> ( ) separate-index-screen-except-for-single-messages -> threading-indicator-character = <No Value Set: using ">"> -> threading-expanded-character = <No Value Set: using "."> -> threading-lastreply-character = <No Value Set: using "|"> Since I don't sort by thread, I don't have a clue about these ones :( Hope this helps. -- | --- ___ | <0> <-> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | ~\___/~ <<jtwdyp@xxxxxxxx>>
