http://web.mit.edu/answers/mail/mail_pine.html suggests mailing
bug-sipb about bugs on the athena version so here goes....
I'm apparently exercising a bug that has been fixed in the latest
release of pine. I don't suppose it'd be possible to upgrade?
This sounds an awful lot like what's happening to me--random mail
being marked as deleted and some of my mail is disappearing despite
the fact that I filter every deleted message to a "trash" folder:
From http://www.washington.edu/pine/changes/4.53-to-4.55.html
* Messages may be unexpectedly marked Deleted or expunged if the
following conditions hold:
+ The folder is accessed using IMAP
+ The feature "Expunge-Only-Manually" is set
+ Some messages in the folder have been Filtered during this
session
+ The folder contains messages which haven't been displayed in the
index or viewed in this session
If these conditions hold, then any messages which were previously
marked Deleted will be expunged from the folder, and a seemingly
random set of the messages which haven't been displayed this session
will be marked Deleted.
I generally read my mail on the dialup machines, especially dow and
biohazard-cafe. I am using IMAP. Current version number is 4.33L
% where pine

If this isn't the right place for this, let me know. THanks.
