To whom it may concern:
	I have this problem with my account.  I have not been in my
account for a couple weeks and when I checked my mail I found that someone
has gotten into my account.  No one has my password.  Someone has erased
most of my messages saved from May and June and erased some of my
addresses.  These things are very important to me and very hard to come
by.  I would appreciate any help to my dilemma.  Thank you for your time
and effort.

				Sincerely,
					Annastacia Harris

	There was no need to copy the pine group about your situation.
The group is for discussion of problems related specifically to the
pine user agent.

	With luck your postmaster will be able to help you. 

	Regrads,

Check the permissions on your home directory files -- are they
readable or writable by others?  Assuming a Unix-type system.

Talk to your sysadmin--there may be backups available made at an
earlier date.  And maybe your sysadmin is running some programs to
move old mail to another file to save space.
