Subject: sendmail and pine giving me an annoying problem

Hi all

	This is being cross-posted to several lists. Sorry for any
inconvenience.
	Well, sendmail and pine aren't getting along well on this system,
and I don't understand why. It was working fine until last week, when it
started acting odd. First, typing "sendmail" at the command prompt results
in it accepting input from stdin, this is as it should be on this
stem. But, as soon as I start up pine. wham! It stops working, and from
then to a reboot gives me this message:
Can't create transcript file ./xfe4GKbXL00677: Permission denied
Recipient names must be specified
Cannot create ./dfe4GKbXL00677: Permission denied
	The file changes at random, but the message is always about a
transcript file. The recipient name message is in there because of the
transcript file problem. It seems to be pine which triggers it, as even at
the command prompt then, it will now give that message. I had to set pine
to use an smtp server on my ISP, and its slower than sendmail, so I'd like
to get sendmail back up. Anyone know what's happening and more
importantly, how to fix it? I'm not running any network or anything like
that, just a home system with a PPP connection, but sendmail has always
worked before. I know one thing, some permissions are not set correctly,
but I cannot figure out where. One more thing, I'm running linux.
