Subject: PINE for solaris x86 where??? (fwd)

I am getting really worried about some problems we are experiencing with 
PINE since I upgraded to PINE 3.91.

1. Our main campus email server, a SUN OS 5.4, was upgraded to PINE 3.91 
and people are now LOSING MAIL. Looking at the last message in their 
INBOX we have found a TAB, Ctrl/Z, or Octal 177 character in a line by 
itself at the end of the message. Following that there are multi messages 
tagged on the end of this last message that never show up in the INBOX. 
PLUS This last message just keeps growing and adding messages. Once the mail 
recipient realizes that something is funny, usually by printing his last 
message which lists ALL the messages, he notifies us. We can then edit the 
INBOX and remove the offending character.

2. I just received this NEW message (see below). It shows in my INBOX with a 
date of xxx 13. When I look at the message, a question mark shows in front 
of the date 13 Feb 94. Note when I forwarded the message the '?' changed to 
a '^T' . We upgraded to  PINE 3.91 on a Sun OS 4.1.4 after 
running PINE 3.89 for a long time with no problems. This server only has a few
users so the volume isn't there to generate the problems such as I'm 
getting on the main campus email server.

Can someone PLEASE help.  I will be forced to revert back to PINE 3.89 if we 
can't resolve this problem soon. Does anyone have any ideas at all? 

Thanks for your help.

Subject: PINE for solaris x86 where???

     Greetings,
     
     I'm trying to obtain the pine binary compiled for solaris on Intel 
     (x86).  Does ANYONE know where I could ftp this from???  Better yet,
     if someone could mail it to me, I would be extremely grateful.
     
     THANKS A TON!
     
     Scot

Is there any possibility the folder was accessed from a PC via NFS or
otherwise changed by something other than Pine or the usual delivery
agent?

I see the same thing.  The sender of that message apparently has a
broken mailer or cc:Mail gaqteway that is sending bogus date
headers...
