Following some prompting from Mike Brudenell at York (thanks Mike), here
is more information.  Pine is accessing the spooled mail direct  i.e. not
POP or IMAP.  We are using an old version of pine, on the grounds that
"if it ain't broke don't fix it".  However, if these symptoms mean it's
broke, then we'll move to a newer version to fix it!

Marie,
You are in the best position to determine whether or not a newer version
of Pine will fix the problem, since most of us do not experience your
symptoms... I can assure you that more than a few things have changed in
the four years since 3.91 was released.  Mostly improvements, we think :)

I remember a bug of just this nature in Pine 3.91. IIRC an embedded 00
character caused pine to think that the inbox ended there, so in effect
all subsequent messages appeared as part of the last one mentioned in
the index.

Workaround is to find the 00 and patch it to something else!

Fix is to upgrade.
