I stand corrected.
While I'm here, I should also note (after being nudged by jhawk) that my
comments on pine functionality are by comparison with a commercial mail
program (i.e. Eudora or such). I believe it has equal or better
functionality to those assuming you know how to tweak it.
There ARE some fundamentals you can't change. Jhawk's examples were
configurable keybindings and macros; if they're in there, I haven't seen
them. Nor are they in Eudora, for that matter.
I think I was using a different definition for "advanced" user. Never
mind.
