Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers pine email tool suppress prompt to save read messages Post 302602064 by agama on Saturday 25th of February 2012 09:10:03 PM

If you remove the 'read-messages-folder' setting in the configuration, that should stop the prompt as it will have no destination and thus cannot prompt to move them. You can make this change via the setup interface. Go to Setup/Configure and delete the setting for "Read Messages Folder" (about 10 lines down from the top).

You'll be prompted with a "do you really want to quit" confirmation unless you unset that too. It's later in the setup/config section.

Glad I'm not the only Pine/Alpine user out there!

NAME
2vcard - convert addressbooks to VCARD format SYNOPSIS
2vcard [ -F | -f | -h | -v ] [ -i FILE ] [ -o FILE ] DESCRIPTION
2vcard is a little perl script to convert an addressbook to the popular VCARD file format. Currently, 2vcard can convert addressbooks and alias files from the following formats: abook, eudora, juno, ldif, mutt, mh and pine. The VCARD format is used by gnomecard, for example, which, in turn is used by the balsa email client. USAGE
Per default, 2vcard reads from stdin and writes to stdout. Alternatively, the input- and output-files can be specified as command-line options. OPTIONS
A summary of the options supported by 2vcard is included below. -F print a list of the currently supported formats -f format convert from format [ default: mutt ] -h Show summary of options and exit. -i FILE Read input from FILE. -o FILE Write output to FILE. -v Show version information and exit. EXAMPLES
In a pipe: tr '^M' ' ' < EudoraNicknames | 2vcard -f eudora > out Alone: 2vcard -i ~/.aliases -o ~/.addbook.grcd VERSION
