Subject: Reproducable bug, bad msgno in mail_fetchheader

Got one!

Bug in Pine detected: "Bad msgno in mail_fetchheader".
Exiting pine.
ABORT instruction

Do the following. Enter a folder or a newsgroup. Delete everything, then 
X it so the folder is now empty (or excludes everything).

Press ? for help, it asks if you want to include current message, press Y 
and the above error happens.

Obviously because there is no message to include, but surely a more 
graceful way of handling it must be possible! :-)

Anyway, a nitpick. I am definitely a happy camper. Been waiting months 
for two pieces of software to be released and I get them both in the same 
weekend, Pine 3.90 *AND* Road Rash for my 3DO.  I just can't decide which
to play with now!

Gessh, my fault. Forgot a minor step!

Delete all, X, ?, then press "B" to report a bug. *NOW* it asks if you
want to include the current message (in the bug report). Say "Y" and
it vomits.

Sorry :-(

Hmmm. I just deleted everything in comp.mail.pine (after reading ALL of
the messages in detail, of course :-), eXcluded them, pressed ? for Help
and was NOT prompted for including any message; rather it went to the help 
screen. System: SunOS 4.1.1 and Pine 3.90 (which also seems to run just 
fine on SunOS 5.2/Solaris 2.2 - I always thought that was a little odd :-).

Did you ever have the feeling that when you were finally holding 
all the right cards everyone else was playing chess?

Yep. Definite bug. Anyone on the pine team want a debug1 and core file? :-)
Of course, since this is reproduceable, that might not be necessary.

Nope, that one's easy enough to reproduce.  Thanks for the report!
