Subject: folder lock

Is there anyway to unlock folders from being read only? Our server crashed
over the weekend and ever since we got it up and running again, all my
folders in pine say they are read only. How can I get them back to normal?

Not sure it's the best way, but you should be able to use the string of 
commands ";" "a" "a" "s" etc to save all messages in a read only folder to
another folder which will be a read and write folder. YOu may then delete
the original folder and then rename the new folder to the old name if you
wish. This worked for me in PC-Pine - I assume it will work in a Unix
Pine. 

Or a really hard way (it's been a long time and I don't really remember
correctly perhaps) is to open the folder file from outside Pine with Pico
or some other editor like vi and (globally) change the "Status:" argument
of EACH message to contain nothing (it will typically read "Status:RO").

Are there other ways (anybody)?
