You really need to produce the .pine-debug1 file.  Those problems are not
being experienced globally.  I use pine to edit news headers and such all
the time.  I've postponed messages dozens of times without a problem.
Start up pine with 'pine -d 1' to get a debug level 1 file.  Make sure your
pine command isn't aliased (using C shell start it with a leading \, as in
\pine) and make sure you have write permission in the directory you start
it in.
