Hello !!!

I've found another bug in Pine 4.00.
If you have in your Setup/Config something like this:

read-message-folder      = ~/mail/saved-messages

and if you go then in a shell and in a directory "~/mail" you'll see a
directory called "home", then "your username", then "mail" and final the
file "saved-messages".

								Bye.

Hmm, I would regard this not as a bug, but as the default behaviour of
pine. The default directory wherein your mail-folders, which are
_files_, are stored is '~/mail'. Now, you name your saved-messages
folder as '~/mail/saved-messages'. If the programme is allowed to
create the subdirectory structure (it obviously is :) it will create
them. Therefore, just use the file name 'saved-messages' as folder
name.

But this didn't happen in 3.96

Hi!

I recently installed pine-4.00 and since then cannot save a specific kind
of message from any mailbox into any other due to 'message shrunk'!

Those mewssages always were formerly created by the broken version
of the Sun-CDE-Program 'dtmail', which did introduce ^M (Carriage Return)
in strategically important places :-)

So those mails viewed binary look like
--------------------------------------
From: user@domain
To: me^M@mydomain
Subject: text^M
------^^--------- see middle line ---!!!

(The dumb MOTIF-Widget took the 'Return' from the user into the String
 when it added the default-domainname!)

When I see those Messages on the display I get
----------------------------------------------
From: user@domain
To: me@mydomain
@mydomain
Subject: text
------------------
(OOPS! extra line)

And when I save I get the 'message #... shrunk' message
and so I cannot 'work' with pine-4.00 :-(

Does anybody have a idea/patch to avoid this situation ?
(possibly avoiding re-editing of about 50 large archives :-)
