| Pine is not suited for this kind of job at all. Switch to mutt. ;-)
| You will find pine address book to plain text converters at
| http://www.mutt.org (IIRC).
A much simpler solution is provided by USM Bish, which show
the power of scripts.
-------------->>>
Quite simple really. This small script will extract all
addresses for you in the type of file suitable for use
under mailx or for clipping into the script using send-
mail -t. Note: pine keeps all addresses in .addressbook
This acript will extract all addresses alone to a file
called pine.address.db.
-------<snip>-------
#!/bin/sh
cd $HOME
> pine.address.db
for i in `cat .addressbook`; do
echo $i | grep "@" >> pine.address.db
done
exit 0
