More on mail

[Georgina Joyce]

Hi

Cheers, I've just looked and there isn't a file or folder called
Gena.  What do I have to do to get my mail brought on to my machine?  Do I
have to create a file called Gena or should have pine created one?

BTW:  Where was the option to change the character set to iso 8859 within
pine?

Regards

Gena
