Hi list,

First of all, thanks for the excellent MUA. My very first job was support 
for one of the nation's first ISPs, and we used PINE there. Returning to 
Alpine felt like coming home, my fingers still remember all the shortcuts! 
:)

My mail configuration back then was simple, but nowadays I have multiple 
e-mail addresses, SMTP and IMAP servers etc., and I'm struggling to 
configure Alpine for it.

The problem is with roles. The documentation at 
http://www.washington.edu/pine/tech-notes/config.html#role-config says:

"Since header patterns, AllText patterns, and BodyText patterns which are 
unset are ignored, a role which has all header patterns unset, the AllText 
pattern unset, the BodyText pattern unset, the Score Interval unset, and 
the Current Folder Type set to "Any" may be used as a default role. It 
should be put last in the list of roles since the matching starts at the 
beginning and proceeds until one of the roles is a match."

I've put my "from_gmail" role last and made sure to have all those fields 
unmatched, yet my "from_work" role always seems to take precedence (it has 
the Recip pattern set).

Also, when composing a message, "from_work" is always chosen, I have to 
explicitly use # to compose as someone else. Is there a way to make my 
"from_gmail" rule the default for compose?

Thanks a lot,

Ramon
