Hallo!

  I've found an interesting bug in pine 3.91. I am running it on HP
9000/720 using hp-UX 8.05. When I specify multiple Folder-collections, the
one before last is an anonymous IMAP collection and the last is empty
(nothing, "" without quotes), then I can find strange thing having pressed
L (List folders). I see the news collection specified as second from end
and then I see non expanded (although I have selected expanded view of
folders) collection with name looking like garbled name of the previos one
(the server name begins with the path information from the previous one
and continue with some garbage). This does not happen if I remove the last
<emty value> folder collection. But I like to have it there because
sometimes I need to add a new collection AFTER the last written there and
this is not possible with the Add command.

               Regards V. S.

P. S.  I think pine is a great program and I am thankful to all from the
development team.

I don't see quite the same behavior, but a NULL folder collection does
seem to have some quirks.  But, Pine 3.92 will have an option to add to
the end of a list, so your work-around will no longer be needed...
