Actually, it seems better. It seems to be buggered by default, but it used to be that you had to actually recompile pine to make it behave. Now you can just disable "strip-whitespace-before-send" and _enable_ "quell-flowed-text" and those together seem to do the trick. No extra patches or recompiles necessary. So there's progress. Of course, pico is still pico. Which I find a bit sad: my editor of choise is still an improved version of uemacs, and pico actually comes from the same uemacs history, but has different key-bindings for just enough keys to be slightly confusing. Still, that shared history means that I find pico a lot more to my taste than just about any other emailer editor out there. It may have a few differences, but it has more things in common.. Linus
