:) In a normal xterm I prefer to have boldface, but sadly on a smartphone 

:) with a decent number of rows/cols, the font (font size 4x6 or 5x7) 

:) cannot show bold. So in that case an X would be better.


What I would recommend is to have two different commands for calling 
alpine, one when you are using an xterm, the other for when you are using 
a smaller display. You could wrap calling pine with a script that 
reconizes this, and make that script either set that option or set an 
exception file (e.g. use the -x exception_file option).

Does this make sense?
