        Double oops, actually; I just discovered I had missed the mailto; 
so I put it in. Terminal did come up, pre-addressed to address@hidden

        I must have loused up somehow with the man page, too. I took the -
e out of alpine_helper.pl, tried it (still without the mailto) -- and got 
a man page-type list, which did very much include -e.

        So I put it back. And that's what I used *with* the mailto, and 
got the expected behavior. It did send it from swva.net to my other 
address, too, btw.

        But Pan still doesn't.
