This is cool and I didn't realize pine had such a feature... how do you
enable this? When I press "s" in pine it always defaults to
"saved-messages" . I may have to move back to pine, from Thunderbird :-)
(Actually what I do right now is use a combination... Thunderbird
normally, but pine when I'm already in a screen window and don't feel
like firing up the GUI, or for when I'm not on my PC.)
