On the To:  line, type the address or the Address-Book nickname
of the person you want to receive your message, and then press
Return. 


NOTE: If you typed C from the Address Book menu, the
To:  line will be filled in with the address that was highlighted on that menu. 


On the Cc:  line, type the address of anyone who should
receive a carbon copy of this message. In the
Attachment:  line you can type the complete file name of
the file you want to send along with this message. Finally, in the
Subject:  line, type the subject and then press
Return. This will put you in the Message text area where
you can begin entering your message. 


To leave address items blank, just press Return to go to
the next item, or use cursor-controls (arrow keys) to move up and down.





HINT:  If you want to have a signature automatically placed at
the bottom of all your messages, you can create and edit a signature
file using an editor. When you have created the file, tell Pine where
that file is located. Use an editor to edit the .pinerc
file that Pine automatically creates for you. Type in the name of the 
file you created, at the end the line that reads:

signature-file= 

On UNIX systems, a file named .signature in your home directory will be used by Pine even if you have not defined it in the
.pinerc file.  If you have defined a signature file in your .pinerc file, whatever you have chosen will override the signature-file=  file. 






 Editing your Message

You can maneuver through a message with your arrow keys (or the control-keys
^N and ^P). Other commands are displayed at the
bottom of the screen:

^U

^T

Besides these, there are other text-editing commands. To see a complete list,
type ^G when "Message Text" is highlighted. 


Some of the less obvious editing commands are ^R (Read File)
and ^W (Where is). Use ^R to insert a prepared
file into a message text. Simply press ^R and then type the
name of the file you want to insert. ^W lets you search for a
word or a phrase within the text of your message. 


When you finish editing your message, send it by typing ^X.
Pine will ask you to confirm that you want to send it. After you do so, it
returns to the main menu.
