	(Lines marked 'NB!' in this readme is extra important
	 to read before applying and using the patch).

	The patch file 'pineqtcolor-0.1.patch' puts a bit of color
	onto a few of the statusbars and on quoted text. This to
	make it easier to read messages which tends to look 
	cluttered when you have lots of quoted text in them.

	The quoted text are divided in two types, newly quoted
	(defined by only one '>' in the beginning of the line)
	and earlier quoted (defined by more than one '>' in the 
	beginning of the line). A line with a '<' somewhere in
	it is not considered a quoted line, this to avoid 
	treating mathematical strings as quoted text.

	Newly quoted text is painted in bold cyan, and earlier 
	quoted is in normal cyan. These colors are easily modified 
	to your liking if you look them up in the source-code. 

	Since it should be possible to install this patch on a 
NB!	system-wide installation of pine, the colors are turned
NB!	on by setting the environment variable PINECOL. You will
	not have to set it to something special, just set it. 
	Without this variable set the program runs as a normal 
	Pine4.02A. You can easily modify the source-code to
	check for the right TERM-setting (linux/xterm/ansi) 
	instead of using the environment variable.

	Since changes are made to the file 'os.c', which is 
NB!	created during the compilation of pine, pine needs to be 
NB!	compiled once using the command 'build lnx' before 
NB!	applying the patch. This is also the reason why the patch 
	only works on a linux-system. It should be fairly easy
	to convert it to any other platform. 
	Please do, if you can. =)

	To install the patch, move the patch-file to your 
	pine4.02A-basedirectory and use the following command:
	
        	patch -p0 -s < pineqtcolor-0.1.patch

	After patch completes, verify that there were no 
	problems and rebuild. 

	Please understand that this patch is very "ugly" and
	can most certainly be made in many better ways, but with
	this one the job gets done (finally, some have said).
	Perhaps this patch can inspire someone else to do it
	"right" and to finally have this feature in the official
	release of Pine.

	Known bugs:

		* URL's recognized by Pine as URL's 
		  looks weird in quoted text.

		* When a line is too long in itself
		  and Pine needs to reformat it - the
		  line can look somewhat crippled.

	Please note, however, that these bugs only occur
	when the coloring is active. Deactivating the coloring
	of this patch makes these problems go away.

	Any comments are welcome.
