Subject: POP3 in pine 3.91 for SGI

From: [email-masked] (Mike Zawacki)

Some of the other threads in this group have been talking about this same error message but in a different context.  
    I am trying to log into my pop account from a SGI that does not have a pop client located on it.  I have the folder set up correctly, but after I am prompted for a name and password,  I get the following error message:

Bug in Pine detected: "Received abort signal".
Exiting pine.

The weird part, is that I actually got it to work, once,  and never again.  Anyone know a work around for this?

Thanks in advance,

Mike Z.

I have not experienced this bug, but I do have an workaround.

Use Pine 3.92 on your SGI.  You can hook PGP to it by the filters.
You can have some sending filters and some display filters.  It
works flawlessly.  Let me know if you need more help.

Using 3.92 is one good solution, but not for the reasons you
have cited.  The problem he encounters has nothing to do with
PGP, but rather the use of Pine 3.91 as a pop3 client.   There
was a bug in the pop3 code in the Pine 3.91 distribution.  This
is fixed in Pine 3.92.

Another solution is to recompile Pine 3.91 with a pop3 bug fix.
