From pine-robot@docserver.cac.washington.edu Sat Apr 27 19:03:06 2002 From: UW Email Robot ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: If you were not expecting this information, please read the note at the bottom of this message. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for trying the new version of Pine! The purpose of this message is to describe what resources are available for learning more about UW's Pine message system. In addition to your site's help desk, there are three primary resources: 1. Information built-into the program (see details below) 2. The Pine Information Center web site: www.washington.edu/pine 3. The "comp.mail.pine" world-wide news group. Internal help details: o The built-in "Help" text. Start with the "?" command on the Main Menu. This will give you basic information on Pine, but remember that every Pine screen has its own separate Help text. o The "Release Notes". Press "R" from the Main Menu, and you'll find extensive notes on changes made since the previous version, installation information, etc. o The built-in "Config" command. From the Main Menu "Setup" command, press "C" and you'll find a dazzling number of options and features. Some of these are configuration values necessary for Pine's basic operation, but most are options for tailoring Pine's behavior to your personal taste and turning on some of Pine's advanced features. Once Pine is correctly installed, you shouldn't *need* to look here, but if you find yourself wishing that Pine behaved differently, by all means run through the Config screen and see if there is an entry that pertains. Note that each entry has its own "help" text, accessed by pressing "?" after you've highlighted the option or feature of interest. Pine is a product of the University of Washington Office of Computing & Communications. It is made available to the world-wide Internet community as a public service. We hope you will find it useful.

IF YOU WERE NOT EXPECTING THIS MESSAGE... we apologize for the inconvenience. The request message that triggered this reply is usually a result of running UW's Pine mail program for the first time, and answering "Yes" to the offer to receive additional information on using Pine. This message was sent to the address found in the "From:" line of the incoming request message. If you have never tried the Pine program, you may wish to consult with your support staff about the possibility that someone else may have used your account. In any case, rest assured that this message is not a result of being on any list. (There is no "list" associated with the UW doc server; it just sends out replies to incoming request messages.)
