Subject: How to repair damaged mail folder

Hi,

I'm using Pine 3.90 for SGI Irix 5.2.  My mail folder has become damaged,
and I'm not sure how to repair it.  The Pine FAQ told me to make sure the
first line in the file begins with the word, "From".  I did make sure of
that, but it still doesn't work.  When I launch pine it says that it
cannot open my mail folder.

Any suggestions?  If replying by e-mail, please respond to [email-masked].

Thanks a lot,

A line beginning with "From " is necessary but not sufficient.
Try copying the separator line from the beginning of a subsequent
message to the beginning of the file (and deleting the mal-formed one).
