Subject: over quota

I receive a message saying I am over my quota but I barely have
anything saved.  I don't know what to do because I can't save anything
when I need to.  It says I'm over by 540 KB.

Do you log off irregularly? Then, you get a core dump. Look for a file called
"core" and delete it.

ls -al will tell you file names and byte counts.

In the future, since you don't have a question about pine, don't ask us. Talk
to your system administrator.

Say this:

    du | sort -n | less

then kill the largest files. If you don't know how to do it, talk to
your admin. Yours is *not* a pine problem.
