does anone else of this pine crowd use the remote pinerc features?
The Bookworm upgrade broke this for me. I thought I'd reported a bug but
I don't see it now so perhaps I didnt bother.
I have this patch:

It's not perfect but solves it (mostly) for me. But if other are using
remote pinerc files successfully then perhaps I've got a configuration
wrong somewhere. My problem was related to it repeatedly asking if I
wanted to save the password.
The remote_pinerc is so fantasticly useful, all the benefits of a decent
mail client and all the benefits of having your configuration follow you
around as you change devices.
(Ah, checking my mail history I see I asked here about it and I sent an
email to the upstream maintainer but I never opened a bug. Perhaps I
should do that)
Tim.
I trust that you are aware of the (now) alpine mailing list?
That mailing list includes people involved in the ongoing development
and maintenance of the alpine email software (not alpine Linux), and, is at
