Subject: Reading encrypted folders

By accident, I encrypted my sent-mail and received folders using "vi -x".
Is there any way I can still use these folders with pine?

Are we talking about the same "vi" here?

-x (Amiga only) Vim is not restarted to open a new window.  This
   option should be used when Vim is executed by a program that will
   wait for the edit session to finish (e.g. mail).  The ":sh" and
   ":!" commands will not work.

What's vi -x supposed to do?

"vi -x" is used to encrypt a file.  It asks for a 'key' when you try to
open a file in that mode.  Once the 'key' is set, that particular file has
to be opened with the key, whenever it is used.  And I did that by
accident, with the "sent-mail"  and "received" folders.  Now when I try to
open "sent-mail" or "received" while using pine, it says "Cannot display
this part........"  I want to know if there is some way of opening
encrypted folders/files while using pine.

Thanks.
