Subject: Pine 4.30 fails to create Fcc folder

If you create a new address book entry in Pine 4.30 with an Fcc entry for a file which does not already exist and
then go back to your messages index, hit 's' for save and view the file name at the bottom nothing happens after
you hit <RTN>. The file is not created and the message not saved. (Normally, of course, you will be prompted to
create the file.)
If you happen to overlook this and, thinking that you have already saved that message, you manually delete it you
are out of luck and have lost that message.

Yeah, all what you say is true by me, too. And we can observe the same
behaviour when using an fcc-by-nick saving rule: if the folder with the
corresponding name (the nick) doesn't exist, one is not prompted to
create it when trying to save to it as it happened in the earlier
versions.  Not even warned.

I'm told this is a known problem and a bug fix is due out soon.
I hope that is true.
I've lost a few good messages before I figured out what was happening.

Pine 4.30 also fails to create a folder if you make a filter and ask that messages be moved to a mail folder which
has not previously been created.
