Subject: Pine Bug with non Berkley Mail ?

I have been having problems using pine to retrieve mail from my
POP3 mailbox. Once logged in, as my messages start transferring
pine aborts with "Pine Bug received abort signal". I thought it
was a problem with the POP interface but now I am wondering.

The same problem happens when I try to open a local MH style inbox.
I noticed that the MH format is different from standard UNIX mail
in that the first line  "FROM Somesystem Date" (not FROM: whoever)  
is not part of the header.  If I add this line, then pine can read the
message normally. What does this all mean?  Is the bug elsewhere?

Does someone out there have the answer? Please help!

This is not an answer, only a pointer. 1) There was a patch for pine sent 
to this mailing-list which solved some bugs in pine POP code a mont or 
two (or three) ago. Maybe you need it (I hope pine development team will 
put into versiom 3.92 although they probably do not continue in 
development of this part). 2) Also a short time ago there was a noto sent 
here you have to say something like #MHINBOX instead of INBOX if you use 
inbox in MH format. Please try to get more sure pieces of information 
before doing this. This text relies on my memory only!
