Subject: Deleting Readonly file

I'm not sure how, but an e-mail I received has become a READONLY file. I
have tried to delete it and expunge it, but to no avail. I have saved it
and deleted it, but the original still appears every time I log onto pine.
What can I do to get rid of this pesky e-mail? It is always "on top" every
time I log on and find a "mail" message.
Aloha,
Bob

Does "ps ax | grep pine" give you more than one instance of pine
running?
