Subject: Unable to parse internal header line components

In PC Pine, I get the above error message when attempting to open certain
folders.  Some folders are ok and others not (all are local--on my pc hard
drive).  I don't see anything "funny" in the mail headers when viewing the
file from a text editor.  What might be the cause?  Thanks.

Vern,

This error is caused by a problem with the MTX internal header for a 
message which looks something like:

	22-Feb-1994 08:42:51 -0800,755;000000000031

Specifically, Pine could was looking for the ',' and ';'.  Note that the 
MTX format is very sensitive to the length of each message (in bytes) 
remaining unchanged once it has been written.  This length is the number 
between the ',' and ';'.

Thanks for the report!
