Msg index with Msg preview...

with the index and a msg body. I tried this patch for 4.21 but had some
problems compiling it. Anyhow knowing that 4.30 was just aroudn the corner
I did not bother with it.
So 4.30 is here (yippeee) and I woudl like to add this functionality. Alas
I can no longer find the patch on chappa's web page. Any idea
why/where/how etc.
Of course I am assuming that 4.30 does not have this functionality - at
least I have not come across it during my reading of the what's new
stuff.

:) A short while ago I came acorss a patch that would allow for a split screen
:) with the index and a msg body. I tried this patch for 4.21 but had some
:) problems compiling it. Anyhow knowing that 4.30 was just aroudn the corner
:) I did not bother with it.
Hello!,
Which problem did you have compiling it? Please send me your report so
that I can correct any mistakes that there are in the patch. Thank you
for doing this.

I took it down to add some more functionality, I have a version available
but without any link to it yet. I have not tried to do this either in
4.30, but the "new" patch for pine4.21 can be found here:
http://www.math.washington.edu/~chappa/pine/patches/pine4.21/split.patch.gz
maybe you can test if the patch goes through. Oh no, how that I think
about it, it must not. I'll update it and put it in the same address as
before but with "pine4.21" changed to "pine4.30", check back in about an
hour for the update to happen.

No 4.30 does not have this functionality. Hopefully it will come out some
day. -- Eduardo http://www.math.washington.edu/~chappa/pine/

and it compiled fine on HP-UX 9 but the pine binary hangs almost
immediately after I start it. I will be glad to run it with any flags and
send you any results - just let me know how I can help debug this.

:) I applied the updated version of your split.patch to my 4.30 distribution
:) and it compiled fine on HP-UX 9 but the pine binary hangs almost

Thank you so much for the report. I think I found the bug you are referring
to. What I found was that if the value of amount-index-display was not set
then Pine would hang after opening any message. This is due to the fact
that in theory if amount-index-display is not set then Pine should
behave as normally does (that is to say you would not notice that the
patch was applied). That's the theory. In practice there are a few lines
where this convention is not followed and that makes Pine initialize
certain variables with wrong values, resulting in the hanging of pine.
I will correct this in a few minutes, since I am still working on it.
For the mean time try starting pine setting amount-index-display to a
specific non zero value, in another words start pine like
pine -amount-index-display=10
and set the specific value that you want in your configuration once you
have started pine. This will keep this bug from occurring. I'll update the
patch soon, for the mean time that's the solution.
