Subject: Invalid Mail Format?

Hi all,

I've encountered this error in pine several times and I don't know 
how to deal with it. It all happened when I was reading a mail in 
pine. If the "xbiff" beeped new mail, usually I can get to the new
mail by pressing "n" in pine before pine also prompts new mail. But
sometimes, the "n" command only brings out the error message saying:
"Invalid mail format. Consult an expert." or so. And then the new mail
is lost. Some friends have complained that my mailbox rejected their
mails. And they swear their rejected mails have exactly the same format
as those not rejected. So what happened to my pine? Can anyone enlighten?
Thanks a lot.

By the way, I'm using pine3.91.
