yeah, i used to use eudora, too.

hmmm. i never really used pine except for a short time when i tried
to set it up on windows when i got really pissed off by eudora, so i
can't tell if it's an actual limitation in pine or a
misconfiguration. what i *do* know is that mutt does this just fine.
if you're comfortable with pine (iow, if you don't need buttons and
that stuff to be happy) you'll love mutt.
if you do try mutt out, i'll be happy to help you with the setup.
