If I may contribute of my modest expirience... I've seen it alot in my
PCPine 4.04. It means, in a nutshell, something like "You do have a
postponed folder, but it's empty. Possibly not totally empty, like
zero-size. Could be only those pseudo-messages Pine uses. Oh, and ask the
barman for one them little drinks with an umbrella with it, if you'd be so
kind". Solution: rm ~jbond/mail/posponed or whatever.
