Subject: HELP!! Question regarding the moving of folders every month..

Hello everyone!

I am using Pine 3.85 which I have found to be VERY helpful...Except for 
one minor detail...I understand that Pine prompts the user at the 
beginning of every month about the moving of folders, but currently I 
have so much mail in my many folders that it literally takes several hours..
I remember that after a  certain day everything is automatically saved & 
moved over...This happened last month, but I forget the day now...I am 
eager to start using my PINE folders again...Does anyone know the default 
date??

	If someone can help me I would greatly appreciate it...

		e-mail is fine, as I can read it through the UNIX mail 
command...

					Thank you for your time,

--

Greg,
It's always depressing to learn of someone who has been suffering with a 
bug that was fixed over a year ago...  If I remember correctly 3.85 got 
confused about timeouts on the beginning-of-month sent-mail pruning and 
ended up taking *forever*.

The current version of Pine is 3.91, just released yesterday.

You'll find that later versions move through the pruning prompts much 
more briskly, but you can also turn the feature off entirely by editing
your .pinerc and setting "last-time-prune-questioned" to some date far in 
the future.

	pine 3.85 ??  How about upgrading to 3.91??

	Anyway, pine does prompt you on the 1st day of each month concerning
the deletion and movement of your "sent-mail" folder.  If you don't
wish to be prompted you can look in your .pinerc file for a line like:

last-time-prune-questioned=     (This is in 3.90.....3.85 may be different)

	and set it to a date in the future.
