Subject: recovering lost email

I have a question re: crashing Win98 systems :(

We recently have had 2 people lose long emails in PC-Pine 4.10 when their
PC freezes.  They had postponed the message once or twice before
continuing the email, and then in the middle of typing, the PC crashes
(possibly something other than Pine, but nothing conclusive yet).  When
they open PC-Pine again, the message is gone - no dead letter file,
nothing.  The files for PC-Pine are mostly on the PC, but we could put it
on the server if that is possible or if that would help.  If anyone has
any help, suggestions, etc I would be grateful.  (fyi, I'm not running
imap 4 yet, only 3, but I will be testing it soon)

Thanks,

Robert

I have an answer re: crashing Win98 systems.....install Linux.

Tell your users to open ssh sessions and use Pine on the server. Secure
CRT works really nicely in the Win98 world, and would simply avoid the
problem. Deploy it as a trial on the 2 machines where the users
experienced the problem.
 
> nothing.  
If you're gonna put PC-Pine files on the server, you may as well have
users log on to the server and use Pine from their home dir. It
accomplishes the same end result, but more elegantly. Putting PC-Pine
files on the server is a bit kludgy IMHO.
