Hi Chuck Still again another pine problem. For the life of me I couldn't figure this out for like five months. I could do everything except post to any of kirk's mailing lists. He has pretty tight security you know! He's just a dirty bastard that way. hahahahaaha!!! Anyway... Tell pine that you want a specific name atached to your messages in the config and I think you will get this thing licked. Getting there slowly. Oh by the way today has been the day from computer hell. linux-2.4.2 and alsa-0.5.10b just will not work together! But they do for some people and ot for others! What is going on!
