Hi folks,

i have problems to use the feature auto-move-read-msgs.
I am using pine 3.91 on Linux and pine 3.94 on HP-UX. On both
systems i activated auto-move-read-msgs, but my mail file in
/var/spool/mail will not be emptied. What am i doing wrong ?

	In addition to setting the auto-move-read-msgs option to "on", 
you must have specified a place for "read-messages" to go.  For example, 
I created a folder called 'Dead-file', and set the read-message-folder 
option to 'Dead-file' as well.  Now when you set the auto-move-read-msgs 
option, pine knows where those messages you want moved are to go.  Every 
time I log off, anything still in Inbox gets automatically moved over to 
Dead-file, clearing the Inbox every time.
