The Athena pine loses that setting for some reason. I noticed it wasn't
saving sent mail a couple of days after switching to it. I kept meaning to
investigate, but didn't until this email reminded me.
In configuration (Setup|Config from main screen), the value for
'default-fcc' had reverted to a blank. I've put the name of my sent-mail
folder back in there and once I send this message we'll see if it works
properly again. But I'm sure it will.
All my other settings were read by the Athena pine just fine. Don't know
why that one got lost, unless the people who did those Pine globals chose
to override that setting for some reason.
