	~~=== How do I access the campus/department address book? ===~~
	You may have noticed when you type a local email address in Pine and move off the "To" field, it will look up and find the person's full name to fill in the field nicely. But what if you're not sure about someone's email address? You can have Pine look it up in the campus or department address books.


	~~==== Campus address book ====~~
	~~You can access the campus-wide address book by adding the Princeton [[LDAP]] server to your address book lists:~~
	~~# Go to the (M)ain Menu, then (S)etup.~~
	~~# Press (D) for Directory~~
	~~# (A)dd a new directory.~~
	~~# Set the following options:~~
	~~#* <tt>ldap-server = ldap.princeton.edu</tt>~~
	~~#* <tt>search-base = o=Princeton University,c=US</tt>~~
	~~#: I like to turn on the first three features there also:~~
	~~#* <tt>use-implicitly-from-composer</tt>~~
	#*: If you type a name in the To, CC or BCC fields that doesn't resolve to a local user it'll look up that name in the address book (handy when you can't remember someone's email address, or the spelling of their last name, "Bill" will return all kinds of Bills in the address book and you can select which one you want).
	~~#* <tt>lookup-addrbook-contents</tt>~~
	~~#*: Enables you to add "Steve Huston" in your local address book, aliased to "sysman", and when you type "sysman" in the To field it'll perform an address lookup on "Steve Huston".~~
	~~#* <tt>save-search-criteria-not-result</tt>~~
	#*: When you save an [[LDAP]]-looked-up entry into your local address book, it saves the criteria you used to find that address instead of the result of the lookup. Both this and lookup-addrbook-contents cover the case when someone's email address might change, by looking it up every time instead of keeping a static entry you're guaranteed to have the right address.


	~~==== Department address book ====~~
	~~To setup the department [[LDAP]] server for address book lookups, follow the same procedure as above with these changes:~~

	* <tt>ldap-server = ldap.astro.princeton.edu</tt>
	* <tt>search-base = ou=People,dc=astro,dc=princeton,dc=edu</tt>


	~~==== Using Both ====~~
	If you add both directories to Pine, you should probably set the Astro [[LDAP]] server as the first in the list (using the $ (shuffle) command). This way, Pine will check your local ~/.addressbook first, followed by the department LDAP directory, and then the Princeton LDAP directory last.

			=== I ran pine but got alpine instead; why? ===
			The [http://www.washington.edu/ University of Washington], who originally developed and maintained [http://www.washington.edu/pine/ pine], has completely rewritten it from the ground up. Due to trademark and licensing changes, they have called the new product [http://www.washington.edu/alpine/ alpine]. While under the hood it's been changed significantly, the UI should function similarly to pine.


			=== How do I see literal dates (May 5) instead of relative dates (Today, Yesterday)? ===
			As of the transition from pine to alpine, you may have noticed the date display in the message index has gotten prettier. If you prefer the old-style formatting, do the following:
			# From the pine main menu, hit <tt></tt> for setup
			# Hit <tt>C</tt> for configuration
			# Find the line beginning with "Index Format" (hint: use "W" to search for it!).
			# Hit Enter to edit the field, and paste the following into it:
			#: <tt>STATUS MSGNO DATE FROMORTO(33%) SIZE SUBJKEY(67%)</tt>
			# Hit Enter
			# Hit <tt>E</tt> to exit
			# Hit <tt>Y</tt> to save the changes.
