What....?
When you postpone the current composition, it gets saved in the postponed-msgs
folder which is in the users' $HOME and _not_ /tmp. Even if you wipe /tmp every
day (?) clean that shouldn't bother Pine. Unless ofcourse if you have set Pine
to save postponed-msgs in /tmp ?? or am i still completely clueless about
your setup over there?

Comes here Mz. Becky Davidson with this opinion in the "comp.mail.pine" group in
this article on 19 Feb 1995 05:35:21 GMT:

 + Sorry the trying to compose only if you catch it immediately....My guess 
 + why it doesn't work a day or so later on our system is that we are running
 + skulker on the temp files....if you do it immediately it works but not
 + a day or so later......if you wait and try to get back into it say a day 
 + later you get a coredump and get kicked out of pine....the only solution
 + we have been able to come up with was to recreate the problem by going into
 + compose in pine and force yourself to be kicked off the system by not
 + proberly logging off...i.e. turning off the computer without logging off
 + and then immediately go into pine...select compose and agree to go back
 + to the postponed message.....then cancel it or continue it...
 + that is our only solution.....
 + thanks for the ideas though....
