Subject: flagging messages

I have my inbox set up so that after I read messages, they automatically
go to a folder called "received messages" unless I delete them.  If there
is something I want to keep in the inbox, I flag it New.  For about a
week, I've not been able to flag messages as new.  I press the *, and
then the N for New, and it says "Message x flagged as New."  But the
automatic D (for Delete) is still there.  I try again, and it says
"Message x already flagged New".  But it's not.  And when I log out,
all the messages behave as though deleted.   Ideas, anyone?  I haven't
changed anything in my setup.

			Thanks,

"New" and "Deleted" are separate flags.  By doing "*N" you set the New
flag, but that does not affect the Deleted flag.  Since Pine only uses one
column to display status, you only see the "D" even though the message is
also marked "New".  The solution is to Undelete ("U" or "*!D") the
message in addition to "*N".
