Dear Pine Person,

I've been using Pine for some time now.
Recently my messages have become "Read Only", and are not deletable.
Is this something you can help me with, or do I need to contact my
system's administrator?

Thanks for your help.

Sincerely,

Esther P. Leeflang

Say this:

    ps -ax | grep pine

If more than one instance of pine is running, kill it by saying

   kill <pid>

where pid is the number ps gives you. You can only run one session at
a time, otherwise will will create read-only sessions.

HTH,
Robin
