Can anyone explain this error message that displays at the bottom of the
screen each time I turn on Pine?

           Error: No [ in mail/

Thanks,

My first guess would be that some setting you have in pine is looking for
a file or subdirectory named "[" in your mail directory.
Try doing a grep on your .pinerc for "["

IE:

% grep \[ .pinerc

And see if that sheds any light on the problem :)
