Very Computer

Is there a way to change the default newgroup header columns so that
instead of displaying msg number, date, author and subject I could
transpose author and subject? My goal is to get more of the subject
line
and less information on the author.

Thanks. I have searched the archives of this newsgroup and also the
FAQ
but cannot find an answer to this question.

There is certainly a way (in Pine 3.95) of changing the format of the
Index screens.  However be warned that it will affect all your Index
screens, including those of your INBOX and mail folders.

To read about/do it...

1.  At Pine's Main Menu type "S" then "C" to go to the Setup Configuration
    screen.

2.  Look down the list of configurable options for "index-format" (down
    near the bottom).

3.  Put your cursor on this line and type "?" to see the built-in help for
    this item.

This should get you started.

Cheers,
