Dear brothers (and sisters) in Pine...

I've still got problems with saving messages to other folders due to the
[Message to save shrank (...)] error, and I also get this message:
[Message size does not match expected size, continuing...]

I've talked to my ISP about the estimated/actual message size issue, but
they could not find anything in the config about it... :(

In addition, I've started to get these messages when I view the INDEX:
(no trouble at all if I'm just *opening* INBOX)

[>Unknown message property: ((NIL<]
[>Unknown message property: "ATLE"<]
[Junk at end of address list: NIL NIL NIL) (NIL NIL NIL) (...) ]
[Not an address: ) NIL NIL NIL "<242EEB3C73(...)@ffsvg02.farmersfield.com>]
[Junk at end of envelope (...) ]

I'm getting these messages by opening a mailbox either in PC-Pine
4.21 or Unix-Pine 4.21. I've also tried Outlook (sorry...) and that worked
'fine' (at least no errors about this...). But, of course, that's not an
alternative...

My ISP runs IMail 5.08 6006-1 on an NT Server, reporting "220 X1 NT-ESMTP
Server" on port 25.

I'll appreciate any help!

Regards,

I used to get this a lot when CSE was testing exchange server, and also 
in my last job.  One of the service packs fixed imap support in exchange
server and also fixed the "message size changed" problem.  Another reason
(and probably more incentive) to get your ISP to update is there are/were
several security holes in old MS MTA's....or you could also switch to an
ISP who supports more than just MS propiretary protocols.

I have also noticed mailbox corruption when this error pops up.
