Subject: Bug in Postponed Messages?

Hi all, I'm running Pine 3.91 under FreeBSD and I've run into an interesting
problem. I was going through my folders cleaning them out and I decided to
delete a postponed message I had.  Only thing is, I didn't think to get rid of
it by aborting it, I just deleted it out of the folder. I figured that pine
would be smart enough to check the postponed folder for the actual prescence
of a message.  Apparently this was a pretty bad assumption on my part. Pine
still thinks I have a message to continue, but if I try to continue, it just
dies and drops back to a shell. Any ideas how I can get the continue to go
away(I've got one, but I'm looking for others just in case). More importantly
does anyone else think it's a good idea to check the folder for the existance
of a letter?
Thanks!
-Jason

Immediate solution: delete the empty postponed messages folder file.

Better solution: upgrade to Pine 3.93

Cheers,

Maybe the file "postponedmessages" still is there, and then you easily can
remove it.
