Subject: PC Pine under Windows

If I leave PC Pine (3.89) running under MS Windows, when I return to it 
after a while I get the message [IMAP connection broken in reply]. 

Is this a bug?

I'm not sure what's happening - the 'in reply' bit of the error messsage
is a bit confusing (in reply to what?).

John,
Apologies for the delay in responding.

Does this happen when PC-Pine is in the foreground, or only when it is in 
the background?

I was just about to reply that I'd never seen the problem described here. 
Next thing that happend was I got the same errormessage  [IMAP connection 
broken in reply] after having read a couple of e-mails more.

That happend while PC-Pine was in the foreground-

I have seen identical behaviour after spending a long time in the 
alternative editor composing a message.  This was under SunOS 4.1.2 on an 
ELC.  Pine version 3.89.

I assume that Pine is simply wait(2)'ing for the editor.  It may be possible
for it to do this in the select loop for the IMAP connection, trapping a
child-signal when the editor terminates.

I get this on my sun - I have a screen saver that I think blocks
	update till it exits, so if it runs overnight pine fills up the
	output buffer, then blocks until I get in in the morning.

	In the meantime the imapd gets tired of waiting :)

	Not much I can do about this I guess except switch screen savers!

Andrew,

This is indeed a known limitation of the alternate editor that we plan to 
address in an upcoming release.  Thanks for the report!
