I must be missing something -- when I hit Reply using pine, it assumes
that I reply to the whole message:  that is, the subject is MPlayer-users
Digest (...), and if I quote, the whole thing is quoted.  Is this just
that pine does not support threads, or ??? Sorry, I know this is OT but I
figured I'd ask before getting yelled at in the future (or possibly,
asking TO get yelled at ;) )
In any case, if I broke any threads with this message, I apologize in
advance.  I did hit Reply.  The subject and response was cut+pasted "by
hand".  So does this message follow "the rules", or, if not any
suggestions?  I can't believe I'm the only pine (l)user out there...maybe
just the most clueless.
