[Alpine-info] Creating groups in alpine.

[Aidan WIlson]

    I would like to create groups of mails in Alpine (for instance: 
    Friends). Could you please tell me how to do that?

Do you mean groups of addresses? That's easy. The address book's format 
is basically a tab-separated values list with:
nickname   fullname   address

If you go into the address book (shortcut a from the menu) and add a new 
entry (shortcut @). You'll get this:

    Nickname  :
    Fullname  :
    Fcc       :
    Comment   :
    Addresses :
      

Just like regular address book entries, your list will have a nickname 
('friends', for instance) and may have a fullname ('All my friends') and 
the addresses will be a comma-separated list of addresses or nicknames 
from your address book. Alpine will resolve the full email addresses 
just like it does when you put a nickname into the to: field. I suppose 
you could even have a distribution list that resolves another 
distribution list...
