Subject: ERROR - Message to save shrank!

Lately I've gotten the error "Message to save shrank!  (#3: 14059 --> 14058)"
for several messages I've tried to save from the inbox to another folder.
I've never seen it before, and gotten it several times this week since I 
switched to Tenex format for the mailbox.  (mail.txt in home dir).

My only option is to delete the note.  What's going on?

Thanks, Daniel

This is a known bug in Pine 3.91 on UNIX.  It can be caused by carriage
return (\015) or null (\0) characters in the message.  Ain't supposed to
happen, it said here, but it does.

The carriage return problem is fixed with Pine 3.92.  The null problem
will be fixed when Pine upgrades to the imap-4 toolkit (hopefully the next
version after 3.92).

This also occurs in PC Pine, but for a different reason.  This too is
fixed in 3.92.
