Normally, Pine just shows you four header fields to fill out:
To:, Cc:, Attchmnt:, and
Subject:. There are others, Bcc:, Fcc:,
Lcc:, Newsgroups: and possibly custom headers
you have defined in your personal configuration: these are also
available but not usually shown. When you press <Ctrl>R in the
message header, you can see and edit these hidden fields.
Bcc: stands for blind carbon copy. Addresses listed in
this field receive a copy of the message, but are not visible to
any of its recipients, including even those who received the blind
carbon copy. Note that if you enter addresses both in the
To: and the Bcc: fields, this can cause
confusion among the Bcc: recipients, who may think they
accidentally received a message intended for someone else (that
is, the addresses they see in the To: field), and then
forward it to them, so use this feature with discretion.
Supplied with version 3.92 (or later) of Pine is the Lcc:
(List Carbon Copy) field, which combines the functions of the
To: and Bcc:fields. It allows you to select
a list of addresses from your address book and shows the name of
the list (but not the individual addresses in the list) in the
message's To: field, while delivering a copy of the
message to each address on the list.
Fcc: stands for ``folder carbon copy''. This is the field
to specify the name of the folder which should hold a copy of the
outgoing message. The default Fcc: field in Pine's
configuration specifies the default folder to save outgoing messages
into, but you can override that default on for any message you
compose by changing the Fcc: field in its header. In
addition, Pine gives you the ability to specify an Fcc:
appropriate for each entry in your address book, a very useful
feature if you organize your folder by correspondents.
The Newsgroups: field allows you to select one or more
Usenet newsgroups to which you want to post your message. For
this to work, you have to have access to a news server, which
can be specified in the nntp-server field of Pine's
configuration screen.
