Subject: OpenVMS PINE gotcha

I don't know if anybody has mentioned this in the past, but the OpenVMS
port of PINE (the HUJI one) crashes/burns if there is no mail folder
in existance upon startup. (happens with PTMAIL, an ELM clone for VMS
too, actually!)
Of course, it's easy to create the e-mail file simply by sending the
user some mail and letting the O/S create it - but it would be nice
if PINE reported something rather than just stack dump.
