When you use the ^_ command to access the alternate editor, a temp file is written and your editor invoked. You editor saves its output in the file and pine returns to the composer with the new formated data. Of course, in this context, editor can be any program/script which will process the file. Hence, it could be a script to remove the quoting or emacs or sedit or whatever programmable editor, etc. For this reply, I configured plain vi as my editor. _______________________________________________ Pine-info mailing list [email protected] http://mailman1.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/pine-info
