I would also share with you that I use the following in my .pinerc:
initial-keystroke-list=l,
    CR,
    ;,
    p,
    n

I'm not sure if there's a better way to do that, but essentially it hops
to the first entry in my folder group list (the ones that get incoming
mail), opens that group, then selects groups that contain new
messages.  That way, I get a little X next to the names of all the folders
that contain new mail.

That I don't know, but I have a related question:

On this list a while back, folks were describing how they use vim as their
editor from pine and are capable of doing more robust quote formatting
than pico handles by default.  This interest me immensely.  Can someone
share that info?

Thanks.
