Subject: nulls in spool file, Pine ignores message

We're having a problem periodically where sendmail writes a message to a
spool file where the From line is preceeded with a series of nulls. This
causes Pine to not see the beginning of the new message so it gets lost at
the end of the previous message. The UCB mail program handles it okay and
just opening and saving the spool file with mail will remove the nulls. Is
this problem known and, if so, is there a fix? Much appreciated!

PS: I've not been following pine-info lately. I apologize if this issue has
been dealt with earlier.

We believe that this problem will be fixed in Pine 3.92.  If you are in a
hurry, you can get the very latest
	ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/mail/imap-3.6.BETA.tar.Z
and rebuild Pine 3.92 using the IMAP 3.6 beta toolkit instead of the IMAP
3.5 that was distributed with Pine 3.91.

Don't use the IMAP 4 alpha toolkit; Pine doesn't build with it yet.

I just put in code from the IMAP 4 alpha toolkit into the IMAP 3.6 beta
toolkit that should nuke the last vestiges of this problem.  Previous
versions of the IMAP 3.6 beta toolkit fixed most occurances, but there was
still a hole through which a few insects should slip through.
