Subject: problems with an update

I am on Sun Solaris 2.7 and I just tried to upgrade from Pine 4.21 to Pine
4.33.  Some things are not right.

I tried not building the programs but just grabbing the binaries.  From
the name, it looks like it is for Solaris 2.8, not 2.7.  Is there enough
difference that this could explain all?

If not ...

1.  My experience in the past is that when I run a new pine the first
time, it will update my ~/.pinerc, changing the version number in the
header, etc.  This did not happen.  I tried pine -pinerc pinerc_4.33 and
got one which said 4.05.

2.  Always in the past pine has had no problem finding my INBOX even
though I used the default for inbox-path.  In the notes I see it expects
the default to be in /usr/spool/mail/myname, whereas it is
/var/mail/myname on my system.  Putting that in solved the problem, but I
am confused as to why it worked in the past with 4.21.

3.  Once I got my INBOX to appear, I looked at some messages and found
that attachments were handled differently from before.  People sending
mail with outlook explorer using the html option always came in as a
message telling me there were two attachments, and it displayed an
enhanced text with underlines in my xterm window under Sun OW.  Now it
tells me there are two attachments, but nothing gets displayed even if I
try to view the attachments.  Turning off pine and looking at the file in
Sun Mailtool tells me they are still there.

That's as far as I have gotten.  Thanks for any suggestions.

I see an explanation for my problem: my "new" binary says PINE 4.05 in the
upper left-had corner.  So the .pinerc did not update as it was not a
higher number.

Time to build them myself, I guess.

Sorry about my previous two messages.

I had mistyped my ln -s to find the new pine and so it went to my old
sunos version of 4.05.  I built the binaries and they seem to work.

I see my attachments again -- albeit in their semi-enriched state.
