        Yes, I know VSNL and the network connections are not so good.  But,
let me give you a tip.  When you use UPPERCASE it is taken to meaning
shouting.  When you connect with VSNL I can understand your shouting....but
best to use lower case.  :-)

        You are using pine in a shell account as you say.  At the present time
PC-Pine does not support "disconnected" mode.  So, you need to talk to the
folks at VSNL and arrange for a POP account.  (I don't think VSNL supports
IMAP.)
