Not very likely to happen. Most likely, your mail got pruned to a folder
called READ-MESSAGES-jan-1997 or something like that. Make sure that this
folder is not there before throwing a fit. Take a look at your configuration
for the following:

	# List of context and folder pairs, delimited by a space, to be
	# offered for pruning each month. For example: {host1}mail/[] mumble
	pruned-folders=
	
	# Set by Pine; controls beginning-of-month sent-mail pruning.
	last-time-prune-questioned=97.2

Then, type L to see your List of folders.If, however, this folder really
doesn't exist, get ready to panic and consult your sysadmin to locate the
mail. Unless you've toyed around with commands like rm, there's a good
chance it will be found.

Besides, as far as important information on computers is concerned, the old
Leisure Suit Larry rule still holds true: Save often, save early.

Cheers,
Robin

       On the package it said: "Requires MS Windows 3.11 or better"
