Subject: Pine 4.50 - Lost tab-completion when saving mails to folders

Hi,

I've compiled Pine 4.50 on Linux i686 on a RedHat 7.3 system like this:

     ./build SSLDIR=/pkg/openssl/0.9.6g lnp

When saving mails to folders by pressing the 'S' and then start typing 
the beginning of the foldername one in Pine 4.44 could press the tab-key 
to complete to foldername.

This has stopped working with Pine 4.50, anyone got any ideas why? Thanks.

When trying to thread messages in Pine 4.50, I get an error and Pine
aborts.
The error is: "Bad msgno 0 in mail_elt."
Please understand that I'm on a shell provider, I did not compile Pine
4.50, thus if it's a problem there, I can't resolve it unless I build my
own.
But the question is: how does one work around this?

There was a problem reported a few days ago with the same problem message
when it crashed. This does not mean it's the same cause, though. Do you
have a sample message that causes the problem?. If the problem is
threading, then the work around is to sort your folders in other way (say
by arrival). You may need to manually edit your .pinerc or start Pine with
the "-f" option to do so, if the problem is in your INBOX.

If the problem is the same as the one reported a few days ago, there's a
patch in my web page, which your provider should install.  It's the third
patch in the list of new patches.
