Subject: Killer Updates?!

In the past couple of weeks, when booting pine, at least twice I've gotten
notices proclaiming that I was being updated to the latest version of
pine, 3.91 I think, a version that was already running on my system. Each
time my personal pine defaults have been zapped and had to be reset, and I
also suspect a list I had created in the address book was also zapped.
Who's doing this unecessary updating and why does it zap my defaults?

Actually, I think what is going on is that your defaults are getting 
zapped first. When you start up pine it looks at the defaults for the 
laster-version-used= line (or something like that) and sees that it is 
blank or not there and gives you the notice about the latest version of 
pine. I would look into things that might be causing your ~/.pinerc to be 
deleted.
