Subject: Pine 4.50 (patched) and thread index - invisible subject

Hi,

When you save this attachment as a file then open it through "G" (goto)
command, you will see that in the threads sorting there is nothing
except the message number. When you change the sorting to something
different than threads, then everything looks fine. I think it is a bug.

Regards,
Piotr

  Mine aborts, when I open that attachment:

Problem detected: "Bad msgno 0 in mail_elt, nmsgs = 1".
Pine Exiting.
Aborted

  However, when I inspect the attachment, I see:

Subject: Prospero - aplikacja do zarzadzania sprzedaza przez Internet [REKLAMA]

  The first four lines in the attachment are not a legal mailbox content.  If
I remove them, I can see the attachment correctly.
  Still, I think Pine should behave somewhat better when faced with an illegal
mailbox contents ;-)

That's aborts for the same reason that Murphy indicated the first time he
posted about Pine crashing,and it's solved by the patch in my web page. I
however did not have any trouble opening the folder. It looked ok to me.
Could it be something that has to do with Murphy's character-set variable?

There is no difference if I unset the character set. Maybe the other
option cause such displaying behaviour?

Ok, I found the reason, there's no date in that message and that causes
Pine to incorrectly write the screen. I will have a patch out in a few
minutes.

Eduardo,
That was the reason for my threading-abort problem, too, a message with no
date.
It's great that you make patches available, but this is common enough that
it should be addressed with a release, I'd think.
