Hello,

This is the 3rd or 4th time I have encountered this: Pine occasionally
mangles/deletes a message (something just isn't there anymore after
logging out).  Also, sometimes a message which I thought has "vanished"
has in fact been appended to the contents of the preceding message.  I
have attached an example (w/ full headers) of an email which resulted from
such a mangling.  The example shows the full headers of the first message
(which appears in my inbox listing), and the headers of a complete message
which was pasted onto the end.  It seems that the first message was
supposed to have more contents which were deleted somehow - I might wonder
whether some additional messages, which used to be between the two visible
ones, were also deleted.  (For privacy, I have deleted the contents of the
second message).

Is there another version of Pine I can use until this bug is fixed?  An
older version, or an Athena-supported version?
