When accessing mail locally, Pine uses the same VMS MAIL mail
    file as VMS MAIL and PMDF MAIL, so you can use any of these
    programs interchangeably and access the same messages stored
    in a VMS MAIL mail file.

    Pine uses your VMS MAIL profile settings as follows:

 AUTO_PURGE

    When AUTO_PURGE is set, expunged messages will be purged from
    your mail file, i.e., purged from your WASTEBASKET folder.

 COPY_SELF

    Your VMS MAIL COPY_SELF settings are honored by Pine when sending
    or replying to messages.

 MAIL_DIRECTORY

    The MAIL_DIRECTORY profile setting is used when you do not
    specify a filename with your folder specification.

                                   NOTE

       Pine should not be used on an account whose login device
       is a search list and has MAIL_DIRECTORY defined as a
       subdirectory.

 PERSONAL_NAME

    Your VMS MAIL PERSONAL_NAME setting will be used if none is set
    in Pine's configuration file.

 WASTEBASKET_NAME

    As with VMS MAIL, the WASTEBASKET_NAME setting is used for your
    wastebasket folder name.
