Subject: "Illegal" characters.

Greets:

  I am running PINE 3.89 compiled on a Sun Sparc running 4.1.x and am 
awaiting release of 3.90 sometime soon so I can fix up all the little 
things I didn't change (compilation defualts) before announcing that we 
now have PINE available online for our users ... but I have one little 
question:

  I have created a folder which I call "for sale."  In it I keep, not 
surprisingly, items that are for sale.  Now, whenever I enter this 
folder, after a short interval PINE tells me that:
    "[Character '<space>' after 'for' not allowed in folder name]"
which is obviously false as I have no troubles whatsoever accessing this 
directory.  I was just curious as to why the functionality exists for 
this popup message.

There are several known problems relating to allowable characters in folder
names and order of message presentation.  Some, but perhaps not all of these
will be addressed in Pine 3.90.
