        I know.  It's written in the other mail from me to the list.

        Yes.  But as far as I cam concerned, crashing and leaving a
core file behind can be better.  Because I can reenter a lot faster.
I use to do things fast.  This is why I like the console so much.  And
this is why this problem arised.  Because I hit ^X almost as a reflex.

        Yes.  But here there is no filter, role, add-on, add-in or
anything else but plain pine.  Just it's configuration.  And a lot of
mail folders.
        I like vim better than pico.  But it's like more work to do...
eh, ^C, :x... Any other editing stuff I do from vi.

        Eh.  Never tried that.  It's like a tradition.  First time I
used email I was so excited.  It was something I never tried.  The
first networking experience.  I read about a lot of stuff related to
mail and mailx.  But some pushed me to use Pine.  So here I go.
Besides like 6 months one time when I didn't have any Linux distro, I
did my mail with pine.
        Mutt you say?  I could give it a shot.  As far as I am
concerned I can go and use mailx.  But I guess I got too used with
that nice way of showing the contents of a folder.
        So Pine isn't really the problem.  It's a great piece of
software.  And as far as I can see, that roles feature is great for
who needs it...
        This looks like a problem.  But I'm not that good to say "hey,
I found a bug in pine - here is the patch".  I don't even have those
damn sources.
