The error you are getting means that message #18 is not there when Pine
thinks it should have been. This is most often caused by people using
their mail from two different places: they can be both from Pine, or one
from VMS MAIL or PMDF MAIL.  In any case, if you deleted some messages
from one place, but pine had it when it opened the folder, then it will
have this problem. 

Or, it could be a bug.  What version of PMDF are you running?  That is,
what is the output of

$ pmdf version

?  It may be that you need a new PINE.EXE image from our anonymous FTP
area, ftp.innosoft.com
