Subject: Minor buglet? PCPine 3.92

I have installed PCPine (Winsock version) 3.92 over my 3.91 installation
and am running with no real problems.  I had to tweak a few of the new
Config variables to suit, but I expected that.

One minor problem.  When I start pine (after making PPP connection) it
polls my INBOX on the remote server.  I get 2 brief minor error messages
during this time, very short, which say 'Bad Context, no "[" in \mail'
and then the same msg but with the "]" symbol.  

I do not know where these characters come from, they are not part of the
remote filename for inbox.  They do show up in the Pine.DeBug file on the
address for the INBOX.  

Is this a small bug? or a 'feature' or a missed setting in Config?

Check that the each and every entry in your "folder-collections" variable
looks something like this:

	folder-collections = Mail {imap.host.domain}mail/[]

In particular check that the "[]" is there: this is a placeholder to show
where folder names are to be substituted in the string.

Cheers,
