A system manager can tailor Pine's environment on a per system
    basis by the use of files described below. These files should all
    be world readable.

 PMDF_TABLE:PINE.CONF

    This file is shipped with PMDF and contains a default system-wide
    configuration for Pine. A new version is shipped with every PMDF
    release, so you should keep a copy of your customizations. This
    default configuration provides for one folder collection with the
    default mail file on the local system.

 PMDF_TABLE:PINE.CONF-FIXED

    You can create this Pine resource file and place in it options
    which you do not want users to be able to change or override.
    This file, as supplied with PMDF, initially contains the same
    information as hardcoded in the program for the BUGS-ADDRESS and
    BUGS-FULLNAME options with the local Postmaster being the one to
    receive the bug reports. You can change it to a different address
    if necessary, but we suggest you direct it to a local support
    address.

 PMDF_TABLE:PINE.INFO

    When this file exists, the information contained in it is
    presented to the user as LOCAL SUPPORT CONTACTS from the main
    menu's help screen.

 PMDF_TABLE:MIME.TYPES

    This file provides a basic set of file extension to MIME type
    mappings. Users can supplement or override these defaults with
    their own choices in their own file, via the MIMETYPE-SEARCH-PATH
    option in their Pine resource file.

1  –  Precedence of Settings

    There are potentially four sources of configuration settings
    which are shown below in decreasing order of precedence:

    1. Unchangeable, system-wide settings from the PMDF_
       TABLE:PINE.CONF-FIXED file.

    2. Per-user settings from the user's PMDF_INIT:PINE.PINERC file.

    3. System-wide settings from the PMDF_TABLE:PINE.CONF file.

    4. Default Pine values.

    One exception to the above precedence scheme is the FEATURE-LIST
    option which is cumulative. In order to turn off a feature, you
    have to negate it by prepending NO- in front of an individual
    feature.
