If you use vim, the key sequence gq} (sans quotes) will do that. nvi doesn't seem to do that though. You also may have to set the textwidth variable so it knows at what width to wrap lines (:set textwidth=72 will do it). As someone else has noted, vim can use any editor you want by default. -- finger for GPG public key. 16 Nov 1999 - new key generated, please stop using the old. pgpXpiqdBoZXL.pgp Description: PGP signature

Someone posted to the list recently that they packaged 4.20 and put them on a website somewhere. If you want to be legally correct about it, get the sources (orig.tar, diff, dsc) instead of the binary packages and compile yourself. Check the archives for the address. Personally, i found some of the changes from 4.10-4.20 annoying enough that i finally changed to mutt and gpg *cheer* ... Do you get the problem in 4.20 where it refuses to premanently set messages to non-new unless you explicitly use the * command to do so? -- finger for GPG public key. 16 Nov 1999 - new key generated, please stop using the old. pgp1ofn4Tdlhl.pgp Description: PGP signature

If you go to the archives and look up Alec Smith's reply to me on 10th Nov, you will find a fully detailed step by step guide covering Pine4.20. It worked for me and if I can do it anyone can!

It smells too much like vi and I find vi hard. I must stop avoiding vi at once :-) I just built pico for someone, and I keep notes: --8 Ftp to ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/Mirrors/ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/ dists/slink/non-free/source and copied the .tar.gz .diff.gz and .dsc files for pine_3.96M-2 to ~debian/slink-2.1. mkdir ~/src and cd to it. dpkg-source -x ~debian/slink-2.1/pine_3.96M-2.dsc unpacks the distribution. cd pine-3.96L debian/rules build press enter to accept advice. bin/pico is what I wanted. --8 Cheers, -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +44 1908 653 739 Fax: +44 1908 655 151 Snail: David Wright, Earth Science Dept., Milton Keynes, England, MK7 6AA Disclaimer: These addresses are only for reaching me, and do not signify official stationery.
