For years I have disliked pine prompting me to delete my old sent* emails each month. I always planned to fix this. So I looked at the source today. I learned it has an option to handle this. I will now try in my ~/.pinerc the following:

pruning-rule=ask-no

Which is for "ask about rename, don't delete". I see it is in the pine setup menu also.

I know I documented this before .. but can't find right now. This will interactively allow you to set the boot selector timeout (20 seconds default) and the default boot options for the menu:

fdisk -B /dev/wd0

But I still have a problem on this three boot system. My third choice "DFly" won't boot my DragonFly -- it just reboots immediately. (I have to boot with a DragonFly boot CD to get to it.)
