Subject: Pine 3.91 wants to move sent-mail

Everytime a user starts Pine 3.91 (SCO Unix) it asks: Move current
"sent-mail" to "sent-mail-mar-1995"?. Actually not everytime, the
next time it asks: To save disk space, delete old SENT mail folder
"sent-mail-mar-1995"?

Answering yes each time. Is this normal behavior? Or can anyone suggest
what to do to stop this? There is a /usr/local/lib/pine.conf.fixed file.

Also I get messages stating my options conflict with system defaults.
How do I stop this?

OK that's something your server has programmed, but yes it's normal.  
What you should do is the following ... sometime around the third week of 
the month look thru your email files (both inbox and sent mail) and move 
them to another file.  Now assuming you're working in pine ... make a 
folder called 'golf-save' or 'ski-save' or 'sex-save' or whatever ... then 
move the messages to those folders.  pine doesna use the move command, 
use s for save (maybe it's ^s) whatever, then save them to the other 
folder ... hope this has confused you enough ... please feel free to 
email me if this is not clear ... which upon re-reading it I'm sure it's 
not. 

RE your options conflicting with system defaults ... etc ... you can 
either accept the system defaults, or read the message ... your choice 
... hmmmmm ...
