pine vs. mutt, revisited

[Charles Hallenbeck]

Hi Cheryl,

In the pine setup you are right about the use of the fcc field. I did not 
mention that I have the "save to a folder" command set up to default to 
the user's fcc, so the fcc folder serves both purposes.

In mutt, I am talking about the "save" command which copies a message 
from the pager to a folder by typing "s". When I do that, the prompt I 
get suggests a folder with user name, and often that is not what I want, 
since I want to aggregate a number of users into one folder.

But your suggestion about hooks is a useful pointer. Let me pursue that 
one.

Thanks,
Chuck
