Subject: Can't save to INBOX?

This is with pine 4.33..

I had a message accidentally hit my spam filters (haven't quite figured
that out yet -- it looked like it should've hit my setscores rule to set the
score to 100 so as to not be filtered out as suspected spam)..

Anyway, I tried to save it back to my INBOX (after playing with my filters..
and I added a new entry to my From filter as another hopeful fix)..

I'm getting:
Folder "Mailbox" in <Mail> doesn't exist. Create?

when I either try to type INBOX or pick INBOX from the visual list.

What's up?

(It's still using pine 4.33 since my personal acct uses qmail AFAIK..)

It's this way (*) on my server too - the inbox isn't technically a PINE
folder; it's actually your mail spool. So you can save from the Inbox to
a PINE folder, but not from a PINE folder back to the Inbox. You will,
however, be able to save from your spam folder to any other PINE folder,
like saved-messages.

(*) - note: if it's "this way", then when you use IMAP or webmail, if your
server offers it, you can probably only see your Inbox, not any of your
PINE folders.

Sorry, I actually knew this..

But on my work machine, which I have pine 4.51 running on (and at least the
client is running on OSX), I _can_ save into INBOX.

So is it that a newer pine is somehow working around the issue?

I eventually forwarded the message to myself, which worked (but added the
forward headers of course).

BTW, upon originally playing around with saving, the saved copy had the
"full headers shown" problem I described quite a long time ago (probably
years)..  Though I don't seem to be able to reproduce it.   i.e. the saved
copy is pretty heavily mangled.

In one account I have the INBOX in the same folder list as the other
folders. There I can save to INBOX by just giving the name.

In another account I have the INBOX plus some other folders for incoming
mail in one folder list, and folders for saved mail in another. There I
have to select the other folder list with the help of ^P first, and then I
can save to INBOX.
