Subject: pine v3.89 hanging when sending mail (solaris version -- home directory on ultrix box)

I've just noticed this behavior of pine v3.89 ( & v3.88 ).  User on a 
solaris box, with his/her home directory on an ultrix 4.2a box, fires up 
pine, composes a message, and sends the message.  The message is sent 
(and correctly received to another individual), but -- pine hangs with 
the "Sending mail" message.  I am unable to break out of pine -- I 
basically have to kill the process.  

If a solaris user with home directory on solaris box, or ultrix user with 
home directory on ultrix box fires up pine, pine works as I would expect, 
great...

Paul,

This sounds like it may be a problem with NFS file locking when trying to 
write the sent-mail copy of the message.  The best way to avoid this 
problem is to install imapd on the ultrix box and configure Pine to 
use imap instead of NFS.

Thanks for the report!
